The Big Tech Show: A nationwide scam filter that is mislabelling texts and why kids are turning to chatbots for friendship
The conversation began with Adrian discussing the botched scam text filter that was recently rolled out nationwide. The filter is supposed to cut down on the number of fraudulent SMS messages received by Irish people on a daily basis. However according to the regulator, the system seems to be mistakenly marking genuinely signed-up entities – from banks and hospitals to insurers and vets – as 'likely scam'.

'Difficult' to ban services from Occupied Palestinian Territories
The employers group IBEC has warned that it would be "incredibly difficult" for businesses to implement a ban on services coming from the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The group's Executive Director of Lobbying and Influence, Fergal O'Brien, told the Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade tonight that such services were "incredibly hard" to identify. Asked if he could quantify the value of services in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Mr O'Brien said he did not have such data. He said each business would have to conduct a customer by customer analysis to establish the facts, and this would be "extremely difficult." Mr O'Brien said, unlike goods which are labelled, services are part of an integrated complicated trading system and so the likely impact would be that activities would be served by another jurisdiction. He said even if only goods were banned by the proposed legislation, his members would be concerned at the likely international reputational damage which would flow from adopting such a bill. Mr O'Brien indicated that US companies based in Ireland are deeply concerned with anti-boycott legislation in many US states, which were introduced to protect Israel, and the damage this could pose on them. He said an IBEC survey suggested that Ireland's US trading partners view the country as having taken "an isolationist approach" in considering such legislation, and was possibly acting "outside of EU" - even though we're "interlinked with the US more than any EU country." Mr O'Brien said Irish companies are being asked a lot of questions about what Ireland is doing and the sense is that the approach is being viewed as "anti-Israel." He said it appeared that Ireland conducted "minuscule" trade with the Occupied Territories and therefore the financial impact pf a ban on goods would be "minimal." However, he said there could be complications due to Ireland's all-island economy, as well as goods from the Occupied Territories entering the EU.

Irish mum was so drunk on Aer Lingus flight she didn't even know where she was
The behaviour of a drunk Irish mum who swigged from a bottle of duty free spirits was of 'real concern' to airline staff, a court heard. Police were alerted before the Manchester-bound flight from Dublin due to Nicola Dooley's conduct. Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court heard a bottle of spirits she had bought was found to be three-quarters empty. Dooley had been put at the back of the plane. The 38-year-old was so drunk she didn't know where she was when she was spoken to by police. She was hauled before a judge and handed a suspended prison sentence, Manchester Evening News reports. Prosecuting, Zahra Khan said officers at Manchester Airport were informed of reports of an 'aggressive' passenger on an Aer Lingus flight, which was due to arrive on December 22 last year from Dublin. Dooley had been moved to the rear of the plane due to her behaviour. She used 'abusive language' towards other passengers, the court heard. When she arrived at Manchester, it became 'obvious' to police Dooley was drunk. She couldn't find her ID documents and said she 'didn't know she was in Manchester', and said she had 'missed her flight'. They discovered she had a duty free bag containing three, one litre bottles of spirits. One had been opened and was three-quarters empty. Dooley pleaded guilty to being drunk on an aircraft. Nicola Dooley (Image: Manchester Evening News) Defending, Megan Edwards said Dooley had experienced 'extreme shame, embarrassment and remorse'. She said the defendant has no previous convictions. Ms Edwards said no members of staff or passengers were willing to make a witness statement. Sending Dooley to prison would have a 'significant harmful impact' on her children, the barrister said. She told the court Dooley had been travelling to and from her native Ireland frequently at the time, to facilitate contact between her children and her partner who still lives in the country. Dooley had moved to the UK months prior, Ms Edwards said. Sentencing, Judge Tina Landale told Dooley: 'Your behaviour was clearly of real concern because the staff on board requested the police to attend on landing to arrest you. 'It was reported that there was an aggressive passenger onboard who was heavily intoxicated. But it is relevant that not a single passenger or a single crew member has chosen to make a witness statement. 'Your behaviour demonstrates that you were extremely drunk. You couldn't find your ID documents and you didn't even know where you were.' Dooley, of Granville Terrace, Huddersfield, was sentenced to three months, suspended for 12 months. She was ordered to carry out 15 rehabilitation activity requirement days. Get all the big crime and court stories direct to your phone on our new WhatsApp service. Sign up here.

ESB boss acknowledges stress caused to 80 families locked out of new homes without power
Nicholas Tarrant, managing director of ESB Networks, said work was under way to resolve the situation at the Sand Wood estate in Portlaoise, where 80 homebuyers have been left waiting months for an electricity connection. However, he did not say when the new development would have power. The plight of the families – who had originally expected to move in last Feburary - was highlighted in the Irish Independent last Monday. Mr Tarrant said ESB Networks staff had visited the estate since as part of the preparations for providing a connection. He told the Oireachtas climate, environment and energy committee that Portlaoise was a high-growth area where electricity was constrained. Population in the town had increased by 16pc in a decade, he said. 'I acknowledge there's been considerable uncertainty and stress for the families that are involved in this development,' he said. 'The developer in question [UK-based Hollybrook] applied to us back in March 2024. There was a revised application in August to cater for a commercial unit they were putting in and updated demand for that. 'We issued a connection offer to them in May of this year. During that time, we have to look at the various other applicants in that area.' He said one of the factors involved was that Portlaoise needed two large new transformers to add capacity to the town. ADVERTISEMENT They were now in place and the developers had been given details of the work they needed to do on site to accommodate the connection. 'As soon as that site is ready for our electrical connection work to be done, we will work with the developer to get that done over the next period of time,' he said. Asked by committee members whether there were other similarly constrained areas, he agreed there were, citing north and west Dublin and other 'areas where you have seen the biggest population growth'. ESB Networks' own capacity registers show that half the country's substations have little or no room to connect new housing or other developments. Mr Tarrant said efforts to keep up with the fast-growing demand for electricity were being hampered by delays in the supply chain for key equipment. 'We have seen some lead times double and [it is now] over 24 months for large electrical transformers. 'The demand for this equipment across Europe and globally has dramatically increased as countries invest to support the decarbonisation of their networks to meet their climate change targets.' Mr Tarrant said ESB Networks, as a semi-state operating under licence, could not prioritise connections for housing over developments such as data centres, but had to allocate on a first come, first served basis. Asked whether he would prefer if he could put housing first, he said such a decision would have to come from government policy or a direction from the energy regulator.
