Kingspan announces sponsorship deal with Toulon
Irish insulation giant Kingspan is the new main sponsor of French rugby club Toulon. The Kingspan brand will feature on Toulon's famous "Rouge & Noir" jersey for the next four seasons. France is Kingspan's number one market, where it employs over 2,300 staff across 47 sites. Last year, Irish golfer Shane Lowry cut ties with Kingspan following heavy criticism of the Cavan-based company in the final Grenfell Tower inquiry report. Kingspan began sponsoring Lowry in 2017, before the fire in London in which 72 people died. Kingspan was one of several construction firms to face significant criticism in the final report into the Grenfell disaster. The company has long said its K15 insulation product, which made up 5% of the insulation in the Grenfell Tower block, was used without its knowledge. Previously Kingspan had a partnership with the Mercedes Formula One team. However, the team pulled out of the deal following pressure from Grenfell families to cut ties. Last year Ulster Rugby also announced the end of its sponsorship deal with Kingspan. However, it did not link its decision to Grenfell. Kingspan says its commitment to environmental sustainability through its Planet Passionate programme reflects the company's dedication to tackling climate change, accelerating circularity and protecting the natural world. It adds: "This shared commitment to environmental responsibility aligns with RC Toulon's efforts to promote more environmentally conscious practices within the sport."

The Indo Daily: Secret messages, codewords and a phone smashed with an axe – The Irishman caught in 'biggest corporate espionage case of the century'
Earlier this year a spy trail of secret messages, codewords and a phone smashed with an axe unfolded in front of the High Court in an extraordinary tale of alleged corporate espionage. The story of Dublin man Keith O'Brien made international headlines when his employer, a major US HR services firm, set a 'trap' to identify how confidential information was being leaked – and the saga is not over yet. His 13-page confession was read to the High Court, where he told how he spied on his multinational employer for a rival for a fee of over €5,000 a month. That is, until he was caught. In an affidavit filed with the High Court, Keith O'Brien, who was global payroll compliance manager of Rippling, said he was induced into spying and passing sensitive company information to the CEO of rival US firm Deel Inc. The admission was disclosed during an application to join Deel, its French chief executive Alex Bouaziz and two solicitors working for Deel – Italian national Andrea David Mieli and UK-based Asif Malik – as co-defendants in corporate espionage proceedings taken by Rippling against Mr O'Brien last month. The Commercial Court heard Mr O'Brien passed on screenshots from Rippling's Slack messaging system to Mr Bouaziz, who was described as a billionaire, over the course of several months and was paid for this via Revolut and in cryptocurrency. Today, on the Indo Daily, Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Irish Independent legal affairs editor Shane Phelan and Sunday Independent senior correspondent Maeve Sheehan, to discuss how a payroll compliance manager was allegedly recruited as a corporate spy – and where the intrigue will go next.

Cork among most expensive places in country to go to college, study finds
Cork is one of the most expensive places in the country to go to college, with the average costs for students living away from home this year rising to €16,179, a new study has found. Comparison website said that students will be paying €556 more on average this year than last on going to college, while costs have risen by more than €1,000 since 2023. It said the scarcity of rental accommodation is a key factor along with other cost-of-living increases such as grocery prices driving the surge. 'While inflation may have eased, students are still feeling the pinch,' commercial director Eoin Clarke said. 'Private student accommodation costs have surged in the past year, and for many, the cost of college life is now at its highest point yet. Even towns that have traditionally been viewed as affordable are seeing sharp year-on-year increases, making it harder for students to stretch their budgets.' said its analysis of the cost is based on third-level academic fees, student accommodation costs, data on entertainment costs such as the price of a pint and night-club entry, taxis and bus tickets, gym membership, and grocery costs. Nationwide costs While Dublin, Cork and Maynooth are the most expensive places to go to college, with the average cost for the year in Dublin now over €20,000, Letterkenny, Sligo, and Dundalk are the three cheapest towns to go to college. Through various expenses including rent, groceries, utilities, transport, and entertainment, the monthly cost comes to €1,256 in Letterkenny. This compares to €1,897 on average in Dublin according to the research. It said the most significant hikes in student rent in the last year were found in Letterkenny, Carlow, Waterford, Sligo, and Cork as the continued lack of adequate supply drives prices up. The figures came as the UCD Students' Union warned of an acute shortage of student beds just as the first round of CAO offers are due to be issued next week. Its officers made a direct plea around Dublin city centre to homeowners with spare rooms to rent them out to students for the next academic year under reasonable terms and conditions. They pointed out that through the Rent-a-Room Relief Scheme, homeowners can earn up to €14,000 a year tax-free renting their home out to students. 'While Digs-style accommodation may not be everyone's first choice, homeowners stepping up to the plate can be the difference maker for someone's future,' UCDSU president Michael Roche said. 'We can only hope that this type of action won't be necessary in Augusts to come.'
