The victims of paedophile Bill Kenneally, whose crimes were outlined in a Commission of Investigation report today, are set to receive a State apology. Jim O'Callaghan told Fianna Fáil TDs and Senators he will propose one at Cabinet, with Taoiseach signalling agreement. @virginmedianews.bsky.social
It's understood O'Callaghan also said he had not received a request to meet with Kenneally's victims – seemingly denying claims to the contrary – but is happy to set a date to do so before the end of this week
👀 Sports minister Charlie McConalogue tells the Dáil that UEFA rules only allow home legs of fixtures like Ireland v Israel to be moved where there are concerns about hosting the fixture “securely and safely” - then puts on record that An Garda Siochána are happy to police a home fixture in October
Dáil Reform committee is meeting this afternoon, with PQ overload on the agenda - Labour Party whip Duncan Smith says he’ll be proposing an outright ban on AI-generated questions (though admitting it can be hard to identify exactly which ones they might be)
🚨 Tánaiste Simon Harris with us in studio tonight on Monday with Gavan Reilly.
We’ll talk cost of living, the Rotunda row, Russian sanctions, the Ireland-Israel soccer matches, and more - while the panel chews over the stories of the week.
On air at the slightly later time of 10:15pm tonight.
🚨 Rotunda backs down in row with the government, and will stop letting consultants on public-only contract offer private care - “the threat of withdrawal of funding was something the Board could not countenance because of the potential consequences for women and babies” @virginmedianews.bsky.social

Hayfever sufferers (particularly Dubliners) of #SpeirGhorm: how are you coping with cycle of crazy sunshine and intense showers? Do you find it pushing more pollen down from the sky and into your poor poor face?
