  Ex prince Andrew’s return from the wilderness, amid 'desperate' legal action

  Oct 6, 202628 min

  Former prince Andrew is mounting a legal challenge against the warrants that allowed police to raid his home in February. It’s the first time in nearly four centuries that a member of the Royal Family has launched a legal battle to stop criminal proceedings against them.   And while the legal claims have made headlines, Andrew has also been quietly welcomed back by Norfolk’s aristocratic set.  Does this mean his time in social isolation may be coming to an end?  Host; Fionnán Sheahan and Guests; Enda Brady and Jennie Bond We want to earn your trust and are members of the Trust Project.

  Richard Curran - ‘House prices are beginning to flatline’: Is Ireland’s property price boom finally slowing?

  Oct 5, 202624 min

  With Irish house prices finally showing signs of slowing, could the seemingly relentless rise in property values be reaching a turning point?  Higher interest rates, the cost-of-living squeeze and the limits of what buyers can afford are beginning to take some heat out of the market, with Richard Curran warning that “we’re reaching the ceiling of what we can put our hands on or borrow or repay”.  But with demand still high and housing supply struggling to keep pace, does a slowdown really mean prices could start to fall, or are we simply entering a period where, as Richard puts it, “we could actually see prices flatline for a while”?  And after more than a decade of rising values, what would falling house prices mean for first-time buyers, homeowners and the Government’s housing strategy?  Richard also looks back to Budget 2007 and the uncomfortable parallels with today, when a booming economy and apparently healthy public finances masked the trouble that was to come.  Twenty years on, billions are once again pouring into the Exchequer, this time through corporation tax, but Richard warns that “we haven’t put away enough of that money”.  And after €160bn in corporation tax receipts over the past decade, he asks a striking question: “How did we allow ourselves to get into a situation where that’s even an issue?”  Today on the Indo Daily, Fionnán Sheehan is joined by Irish Independent columnist Richard Curran to ask if Ireland’s housing boom is finally running out of road and whether, when it comes to the lessons of 2007, “we have learned that lesson” at all.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  Robot judges: Could AI decide your fate in court?

  Oct 4, 202619 min

  Artificial intelligence (AI) is already transforming the legal world, but could we really trust it to decide someone’s fate in court? At the Kilkenny Law Festival, four leading AI models were asked to rule on a fictional but complex extradition case, complete with deliberately planted legal traps. The results revealed just how convincing AI-generated judgments can appear, while also exposing some significant flaws in how the technology understands and applies the law. Today on the Indo Daily , Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Irish Independent legal affairs editor Shane Phelan to examine the experiment and ask whether robot judges could one day become a reality.
