Harry McGee and Cormac McQuinn join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics: · The assassination of the conservative activist and influencer Charlie Kirk on stage at a college campus in Utah on Wednesday is the latest chapter in America's increasingly toxic political climate. A Donald Trump loyalist, Kirk was instrumental in mobilising younger voters during last year's US presidential race. Unfortunately, the threat of violence is present in Irish politics too, with Tánaiste Simon Harris outspoken on the intimidation and bomb threats directed at him and his family.· The urgency with which aspiring independent presidential candidates have sought support is ramping up, with ten Oireachtas members now said to have given commitments to conservative campaigner Maria Steen to nominate her to enter the presidential election. Council nominations are also a viable route for independents but one that is narrowing all the time.· And EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen's proposal to suspend parts of EU-Israel trade deal could be seen as a significant shift towards the stance Ireland and others have taken as the slaughter in Gaza continues. Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· Javier Milei's right-wing ‘chainsaw revolution' in Argentina, Ireland's shambolic display against Armenia as their World Cup dream dies, and yet another new prime minister as France's political crisis deepens.

A prominent Clare hotelier says the Government seems to be doing everything in its power to back out of reducing the hospitality vat rate. It's after Tánaiste Simon Harris stated the rate cut could be delayed until next year and that hotel rooms won't be included. The Department of Finance claims dropping the rate to 9% would cost €810m, and that doing so in Budget 2026 would leave little room for other tax cuts, despite a promise in the programme for Government to change it in the budget process. Hotel Woodstock Co-Owner and Clare Tourism Advisory Forum Chair Sean Lally believes the coalition isn't listening.

At least sixteen people were killed when a cable car train derailed in the Portuguese capital, Lisbon, yesterday evening. Maraíodh sé dhuine dhéag ar a laghad nuair a d'imigh traein cháblach de na ráillí i bpríomhchathair na Portaingéile, Liospóin, tráthnóna inné. 21 other people were injured in the disaster. Gortaíodh 21 duine eile sa tubaiste. There were foreigners among the dead but it is not yet clear where they came from. Bhí eachtrannaigh i measc na marbh ach ní sé ráite fós cárbh as iad. Lisbon is a hilly city and tourists mostly use the light rail to explore its steeper areas. Cathair chnocach is ea Liospóin agus is turasóirí is mó a bhaineann leas as an iarnród sráide le sciuird a thabhairt ar na ceantair is crochta inti.

Ag teacht anuas ón ard a bhí an traein nuair a d'imigh sí ó smacht agus lean ar aghaidh faoin lán siúil nó gur bhuail sí foirgneamh ag casadh sa tsráid. It is believed that the train went out of control when the cable it was pulling broke. Meastar gur imigh an traein ó smacht nuair a bhris an cábla a bhí á tarraingt.

Is mise Alanna Ní Ghallachóir.Dé Domhnaigh, fuadaíodh bean as Éirinn i Háítí agus seachtar eile in éineacht léi, leanbh trí bliana d'aois ina measc. Is í Gena Heraty, atá ina stiúrthóir i ndílleachtlann in aice le príomhchathair Háítí, Port-au-Prince, agus ar as Cathair na Mart i gContae Mhaigh Eo ó dhúchas di, an bhean a fuadaíodh. Bronnadh roinnt gradam ar an stiúrthóir dílleachtlainne ar son a cuid obair dhaonnúil, Gradam Dínit an Duine um Oireachtais san áireamh. D'agair an Taoiseach Micheál Martin leis an dream a d'fhuadaigh an tÉireannach í a scaoileadh saor agus dhearbhaigh an tAire Gnóthaí Eachtracha, an Tánaiste Simon Harris, go raibh “dianiarrachtaí leanúnacha” ar siúl lena fuascailt a bhaint amach. Tháinig borradh mór faoin táirgeadh plaistigh sa chéad bliain a chuaigh thart, agus cé gur táirge míorúilteach é i roinnt cásanna, is cúis tromluí é i gcás an truaillithe. In 2022, tháinig tíortha ar chomhaontú a bhí ina cheangal de réir dlí, le dramhaíl plaistigh agus ceimiceáin dhíobhálacha a bhaineann le plaisteacha ar leith a laghdú, ach tar éis dhá bhliain níl an conradh réitithe go fóill. Dé Máirt, bhuail na tíortha domhanda le chéile arís ag comhdháil na Náisiún Aontaithe in Geneva, ag cur tús le seisiún atá ag iarraidh an comhaontú a chríochnú, téacs an chomhaontú a fhormheas, agus é a chur os comhair Chomhdháil Taidhleoireachta na Lánchumhachtach sula nglacfaí leis.Tá Fleadh Cheoil na Éireann faoi lánseol i Loch Garman don darna bhliain: níos mó ná seachtain lán de cheol, amhránaíocht agus damhsa, agus buaicphointe na bliana do na taibheoirí.

First introduced in 2018 by senator Frances Black, the Occupied Territories Bill is increasingly the subject of public pressure and debate, as Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Tánaiste Simon Harris continue to address criticism. And it's not just here at home, with a growing number of international political voices chiming in, some in a more derogatory fashion than others. US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee slated the Occupied Territories Bill and told Ireland to "sober up." "Did the Irish fall into a vat of Guinness," he posted on Twitter. The diplomat said the bill was "so stupid" it smacked of "diplomatic intoxication". The Taoiseach has stressed that people needed to focus on the ongoing loss of life in Gaza and across the Middle East.
