A spy trail of secret messages, codewords and a phone smashed with an axe in an extraordinary tale of alleged corporate espionage is unfolding in front of the High Court. The story of Dublin man Keith O'Brien made international headlines when his employer, a major US HR services firm, set a “trap” to identify how confidential information was being leaked – and the saga is not over yet.

Still less than a month into his second term, US President Donald Trump has wasted no time whatsoever in avalanching all before him with a dizzying blitz of enough policies and initiatives to make your head spin. But then, that's the point. Flood the zone, cause panic and confusion, and hope that some policies do in fact land. With an international outcry on his hands surrounding his comments on Gaza, threats of trade-wars and Elon Musks ‘hostile takeover', can the president hold firm on his increasingly bold and alarming strategy?

Louis Walsh is undoubtedly one of Irelands most successful music moguls of all time. In a career spanning nearly 50 years, the Mayo native had an ear for talent and an eye for a story, helping him shape pop music history—one headline at a time. But Walsh was no stranger to bending the rules to get his acts noticed and has come under renewed flack after his appearance on a new docuseries ‘Boyzone: No Matter What' chronicling the rise of one of Irelands greatest pop exports, and for better or worse, his hand in their success. Just how did a small-town manager build a global sensation, and would it have worked any other way? Copy: From Boyzone, to Westlife, to The X Factor and beyond, Louis Walsh is undoubtedly one of Irelands most successful music moguls of all time. In a career spanning nearly 50 years, the Mayo native had an ear for talent and an eye for a story, helping him shape pop music history—one headline at a time. But Walsh was no stranger to bending the rules to get his acts noticed and has come under renewed flack after his appearance on a new docuseries ‘Boyzone: No Matter What' chronicling the rise of one of Irelands greatest pop exports, and for better or worse, his hand in their success. In the documentary, he reveals that he used to sell stories about Boyzone to tabloids to keep them in the public eye, including ­rumours, such as one that Baby Spice and Stephen Gately were dating. If they “got the front page”, he said, he was happy. Lynch recently said: “We've always known the way Louis Walsh operates. And in fairness to him, Ireland and the name Louis Walsh, he's a big name and a big fish in the music industry. Was his puppeteering of the press a necessary evil, or can the highs and lows of Boyzone act as a cautionary tale to a music industry still under scrutiny for how it treats its young stars Today on the Indo Daily Fionnán Sheahan is joined by journalist Ann Marie Hourihane and culture writer Louise Bruton, to discuss how a small-town manager built a global sensation, and ask: would it have worked any other way?

‘We are so back' are the words presumably muttered by RTE 2FM higher ups, as they launched their baby-faced, influencer clad new presenting line up in recent days. But hold on a minute... Influencers on the radio, have we not had this debate before? Well despite industry and public concern and comment, RTE have held firm on their long-term strategy for our national youth broadcaster.

In recent months a new force has emerged in the online world.

With stout shortages over Christmas causing chaos in the UK, and ‘G's being split like they are going out of fashion, it feels like what was once the everyman's stout has reached peak public hysteria. But now, whispers are growing louder that Diageo, the global drinks giant and owner of ‘The Black Stuff', might be looking to sell off the legendary stout. Why now, and what does that mean for the future of the company and its St James's Gate brewery?
