Arnott’s

It’s retail heaven for many Irish shoppers and it’s one of the country’s most iconic department stores, but there is news this morning that Arnotts is to be placed under the control of Anglo Irish Bank and Ulster Bank.

Arnotts had major expansion plans, with a scheme to build a new shopping, residential and entertainment area in the “Northern Quarter”, off O’Connell Street but in the process amassed debts of €260 million euro.

Myles was by John Douglas General Secretary of the Mandate Union and Gina Quinn CEO of Dublin Chamber of Commerce

Brian McGrath Murder

Last Monday Vera McGrath was given a life sentence after she was found guilty of murdering her husband, Brian, 23 years ago. Her accomplice, Colin Pinder, was found guilty of manslaughter.

But, although the crime took 23 years to come to justice, one of their neighbours, Michael White, suspected he had come across Brian's grave just a couple of weeks after he disappeared.

Valerie Cox went to Coole in Co Westmeath to meet Michael Whyte.

Money Stories

Myles was by money expert Brendan Burgess for our weekly “Money Stories” slot. Every week over the summer we'll be discussing peoples' stories of their debts, their loans... and their relationship with their banks.

This week we were talking about how lenders deal with people who lose their job and are just unable to pay their large mortgages.

This Money Stories series is running every week for the rest of the summer. So if you would like to share your story with us, please contact money.todaypk@rte.ie or brendan@askaboutmoney.com.

The Money Stories slot with Brendan Burgess was an independent production brought to you by Clockwork.

Chelsea Clinton Marriage

“The” glamour event of the Summer in the United States takes place this coming Saturday when the former first daughter Chelsea Clinton marries her investment banker boyfriend. The rumour mill is in full swing but actual factual information about the wedding from where it’s going to take place to who’s on the guest list is proving very hard to come by. The New York Times claims that details are “harder to ferret out than the President’s Afghanistan Strategy”. One thing’s for sure – it’s the hottest ticket in town.

Lara Marlowe, the Irish Times Washington Correspondent joined Myles.

Travel

This is the month the highways and byways should be filled with foreign tourists over to enjoy our hospitality and, some claim, our lower prices. But are tourists coming in the same numbers they did before. Are they happy with what they find? Are we charging too much for our attractions? And are we offering better value for money for our own home holiday makers? With Myles to discuss this and other travel matters was Eoghan Corry, editor of Travel Extra
