## Resource

Riad Bouchaker, who’s 52, has been found guilty of attempted murder in relation to the stabbing in Parnell Square in November 2023. Our legal affairs correspondent Mary Carolan recounts the events which left a child with life altering injuries. After authorities in Sweden froze the assets of a company owned by Rusal, which owns the county Limerick plant Aughinish Alumina, what next for the firm linked with exports to the Russian military machine? Ireland’s presidency of the EU has begun. What does it entail, and why does it matter? The entrepreneur Margaret E. Ward writes that return to work mandates, effectively ending remote or hybrid working models, is led by narcissistic CEO’s.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
