The Indo Daily

A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following a serious incident in north Belfast on Monday night. Video posted to social media appears to show a man stabbing another man several times in the head with a knife. One man can be heard saying in the video: ‘He’s trying to cut his head off.’ The Belfast Telegraph understands police recovered a knife at the scene.


The PSNI said this afternoon that the suspect’s nationality is Sudanese and “not Somalian as initially believed”.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has called the attack “sickening”, while DUP leader Gavin Robinson told the BBC Nolan Show the incident was “barbaric” and “medieval”.

In 2016, the Healy-Rae brothers sailed to a sensational electoral victory in Kerry.


Between them, Michael and Danny secured a remarkable 38pc of the Kingdom’s vote, cementing the Healy-Rae brand as one of the most formidable forces in Irish politics.


Their winning formula quickly became the stuff of legend: divide the county, direct voters to back each brother with No 1 and No 2, and waste no Healy-Rae vote.


And it was a stunning success. Since then, the pair have been a constant presence in Irish political life.


But now, tensions are surfacing and their differences over entering Government have spilled out into the open.


So, is this the beginning of the end of the Healy-Rae dynasty?


And is their kingdom now divided?


On today’s Indo Daily, Tessa Fleming is joined by John Downing, political correspondent at the Irish Independent, and Jerry O’Sullivan, broadcaster with Radio Kerry, to unpack the fallout from one of Ireland’s most headline-grabbing political dynasties.
