What are the significant headlines from the Sunday newspapers?
Good morning. You're very welcome to the show. So look, we will go to Washington in a minute to Katrina Perry, who was in the room for those extraordinary events. at the White House Correspondents' Dinner last night. But first, let's just have a look at our own front pages and meet our panel. So the Sunday Times is leading with homeowners warned on rush to build cabins, right? So if you're planning to build a cabin in your back garden, consider yourself warned that they risk demolition orders if they proceed before the government formally signs off on the new planning exemption. The Sunday Independent is leading with number of super rich in Ireland doubles in five years, right? So just to annoy you here, the country now has 1885 high net worth individuals.
That's someone with a net worth of 20 million or more. That's double the number in 2020. The number of these such people is increasing by an average of 30 a month in the last six months alone. And the number of connected family members and trusts associated with the super rich is up to 3,400, and that's also up from 1,870 in 2020. So there are also 500 Irish tax sales abroad. The Business Post have a poll, and they are saying historic low economic fears fuel backlash against coalition. We'll come to that. They... Irish Mail on Sunday is leading with an interview with the HSE consultant who exposed the Kerry Cam scandal, Dr. Maya Sharma, who is now homeless in London.
What happened at the White House Correspondents' Dinner?
She says her biggest regret is she did not raise red flags earlier and she is unable to find a job right now, she says, because my forehead is tattooed at risk of reputational damage to organisations. The Sunday World is leading with cartels... Keating arrested in jail. That's Padraig Keating, who is one of the Kinahan gang. And the Murr is leading with the Kinahans as well. Phone message evidence against Daniel Kinahan is so strong he is expected to plead guilty in an Irish court when he's extradited from Dubai, investigators believe. That's according to Michael O'Toole. Our panel this morning, Lucinda Creighton is the CEO of Vulcan Consulting and a former Minister of State for European Affairs. Louise Byrne is political correspondent with the Irish Examiner.
Larry Donnelly is a law lecturer at the University of Galway and a columnist with the Journal. Fergus Finlay is a columnist, former Labour Party advisor and former CEO of Bernardos. Good morning, everybody. And put on your headphones there, please. And we go to Washington. And of course, you heard on the news there, the big story overnight is. the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Chief Anchor with BBC News, Catriona Perry, good morning.
Hi Brendan, how are you?
Well, I'm fine and I hope you are well and thank you very much for getting up to take this call because I know that you were working late into the night as well. So Catriona, you were in the room last night. Talk us through how it all unfolded from where you were sitting, please.
Sure, yeah. So the White House Correspondents' Dinner is a big night every year that all of the journalists like myself who cover the White House gather together and the Americans would describe it as celebrating the First Amendment, which is part of the Constitution that protects free speech and freedom of the press and so on. And it's one of those nights where Everyone sets aside their differences, shall we say, and gathers together. And whoever's in the administration, you'll have people there from that administration. You'll have whoever's out of power at the time, members of Congress there as well, ambassadors. You often have a lot of celebrities and tons of movie stars there and TV stars and so on.
And it has been tradition for many, many years that the President of the United States would make an address from the podium. Now, that hasn't happened with President Trump until last night, and he said he was going to attend. And so it's a point of great sort of controversy all week. What would he say at this speech? Because we know he has, let's say, a colorful relationship with journalists, to put it mildly.
