Summary
Former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson has been convicted of serious sexual offenses against minors, a damning blow to his political future. Meanwhile, Ireland braces for a scorching heatwave with dangerous temperatures forecast through Friday. In a major political shift, Andy Burnham enters Parliament as UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer steps down. Separately, Barry Young from Sligo faces court for the murder of gangland figure Robbie Lawlor — a case that’s simmered for six years. And a new law will allow workers to stay employed past retirement age — but only up to 66. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
