We’ll give you the world.
Broadsheet on the Telly returns tonight at 10pm streaming live (above) and on our YouTube channel.
Expect a panel of your peers, a couple of special guests and the occasional pet devour the news of the week, deftly separating fact from fakery.
The show now lasts a staggering, ad-free TWO hours.
Drop in, drop out. Mute the sound. Make tea. Return. Put the cat/bins out. Spark a fattie Prepare an adult beverage. Repeat. Return. We’ll still be there nattering.
Moderate swearing a possibility.
Sorry.

Years into the process Bank of Ireland miraculously finds another SIX THOUSAND customers that they wrongly denied a tracker mortgage. Absurd stuff.

Bank of Ireland has said the cost of compensating thousands of mortgage customers it overcharged could rise to €200m from €25m after it identified 6,000 new cases.
The affair will curtail the institution’s interest margin by 1 basis point from 2018 onwards, the bank said in a stock market notification.
…In an update to the market on Thursday afternoon, Bank of Ireland said it will set aside a further €150m to €175m in its current fiscal year to cover redress and compensation for the 6,000 new cases.
The bank had earlier set aside €25m to compensate 600 tracker customers it previously identified and another 3,700 customers who had the wrong interest rate applied to their mortgages.

UPDATE:
Shocking to hear @veras1 has collapsed outside the #Dáil as it looks likely government will introduce a restricted medicinal cannabis bill that won’t help Ava Barry #Veratwomey #Dáil pic.twitter.com/rohwlXeJc5

I just spoke on #MedicinalCannabis Bill and it appears FF and SF are going to support the Bill now, public pressure has clearly been a part of this. It shows that campaigning can have impact, particularly the campaign work of Vera Twomey @veras1 #dubw #Dáil

Interesting development with Gino Kenny’s Medical Cannabis Bill – Health Committee recommended killing the Bill, but now FF and SF members of that committee seem to be changing their views to allow it to proceed – heavily amended.

More as we get it.
Update:
The Government has agreed to allow the progression of legislation to provide for medical cannabis to the next legislative stage.
The move is despite the fact that the Oireachtas Committee on Health recommended withdrawing Gino Kenny’s bill because of “fundamental flaws” in the legislation.
Minister of State at the department of Justice and Equality David Stanton said he was of the view that “if you have a very flawed piece of legislation, it might not be possible to amend it, perhaps it should be redrafted and resubmitted”.
However he said there seemed to be a consensus among TDs that the bill should proceed to Committee stage in the Dáil.
