Westminister Magistrates Court had never seen a scene like it – tunes were blaring, chants were sung, hundreds turned up to support Kneecap’s Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh as he appeared charged under the UK’s anti-terror legislation.
In the latest episode of Behind the Story, RTÉ’s man in London Tommy Meskill helped Fran McNulty, Katie Hannon, and David McCullagh unpack it all.
The trio also took a look at Iran, as Donald Trump has proclaimed he “I may do it, I may not do it” when asked if the US was going to join Israel in striking the country.
As all this happens abroad, there’s also the smaller matter of Tuesday’s €250 million EuroMillions jackpot which we now know was sold at a retail outlet in Munster.
The trio wade through some of today’s articles on the big win, and what newsreader Sharon Tobin might do with all of that money.
