  • EXTRA: Ulster Rugby sponsor Kingspan heavily criticised in Grenfell fire report
    Sep 4 2024

    Kingspan has been heavily criticised in the final report into the Grenfell disaster. 72 people died in the 2017 blaze. The report found Kingspan and two other firms engaged in a deliberate strategy to mislead the market about their products. The Irish company produced only 5% of the tower’s combustible foam but has been accused of “knowingly” misleading authorities about the results of tests done on the product. Kingspan sponsors Ulster Rugby and Cavan GAA.

    Ciarán Dunbar is joined by Belfast Telegraph reporter Liam Tunney.

  • Oasis fans’ fury over ‘price gouging’ - but who is to blame?
    Sep 3 2024

    Oasis fans across the island were left angry, disappointed and waiting in digital queues of nearly three-quarters of a million people, as they tried to buy tickets for the Gallagher brothers’ reunion tour dates, in Croke Park next August.

    Many would-be concert-goers were offered standard ‘in demand’ tickets for sums reaching close to £500, leaving many accusing Ticketmaster of ‘price gouging’ and of touting their own concert tickets.
