## Resource

Re-Turn chief executive Ciarán Foley and board members earned a 16 per cent increase to their pay last year. The not-for-profit company paid out total compensation of €700,000 to Foley and private sector executives from Coca-Cola HBC Ireland, Britvic, Heineken, Musgrave and Diageo who sit on its board. Some parents are taking out loans to cover back-to-school expenses this year, according to a new survey from Barnardos . The children’s charity has urged the Government to prioritise a review of digital devices and reduce costs after parents reported being asked to pay up to €850 for tablet computers.  Lawyers could be referred to their professional regulatory body or forced personally to pay legal costs if their use of artificial intelligence (AI) leads to fake sources being quoted in court documents . More than a third of the county’s sandy coastline is deemed at risk of erosion, leaving businesses and homes ever closer to the edge . Presented by Aideen Finnegan Hosted on Acast.
