The national broadcaster may see its €20 million budget cut reversed, provided it can prove its reforms are on track. Whether any extra funding will matter remains to be seen; an economics lecturer has warned that the government’s wider spending plans may drive inflation high enough to wash away the benefits of recent budget measures. Primary school teachers are proceeding with a second day of industrial action this month, with officials expressing little hope of a cancellation. In Dublin, the country’s largest private landlord is in the process of trying to evict one of its own former employees. The Land Development Agency spent €2.15 million to buy the house of an individual who had been objecting to its housing projects in Dundrum. Elsewhere, a survivor of a 2021 massacre in Mozambique told an inquest how he led the evacuation of nearly 200 colleagues after waiting for help that did not come.
