Scam video calls to hit Ireland in six months, cybersecurity experts warnJames CoxDeepfake video hacking attempts are expected in Ireland within six months, according to cybersecurity experts. Scam video calls represent one of the newest threats to organisations’ data and the issue came to prominence after a high profile case in Hong Kong earlier this month. Tens of millions of video calls are happening around the world every day, encompassing a combination of private and business discussions. Mr Sheehan explained why scam video calls could occur in Ireland in the coming months: “The emergence of new threats is one thing that never changes in the world of cybersecurity, and we expect 2024 to be a major period of innovation among cybercriminals. However, the good news is many of the golden rules around cybersecurity still apply in this scenario."

Photo courtesy of Ingimage.comCall for council to meet with NBI to highlight lack of fibre broadband in rural areasCllr Liam McDaniel has called on the council to ask that National Broadband Ireland (NBI) give a presentation to the members updating them on the long awaited provision of fibre broadband to properties in rural parts of the district and when connection will likely be provided. Cllr McDaniel said that he was asking that the council contact NBI to request an update on when they see the remainder of the district receiving a fibre broadband connection. “Five years ago when I was out knocking on doors in the election, one of the big issues in rural areas was broadband and that issue hasn’t gone away. We’re still trying to get connections in rural parts of the district,” explained the Fianna Fáíl councillor. Cllr Tom Farrell supported the motion and said that it was important for people working from home to have fibre broadband.

Workers, Politics and Labour Relations in Independent Ireland, 1922–46: valuable and revealing
Workers, Politics and Labour Relations in Independent Ireland, 1922-46 Author : Gerard Hanley ISBN-13 : 978-1801510783 Publisher : Four Courts Press Guideline Price : €45Most conventional histories and perhaps even many trade unionists see the Dublin Lockout of 1913 as the high point of Irish labour history. The Irish Transport and General Workers Union (ITGWU), almost crushed after the Lockout, had 120,000 members by 1920, half of them farm labourers. He asserts early on that “Labour must wait”, was an “apt representation of Sinn Féin’s attitudes to labour”. In fact, most postal workers had participated in the general strike of April 1920 demanding the release of jailed republicans; Walsh had been one of those prisoners. Hanley’s study is essential for anyone who wants to understand organised labour in the first decades of the new Irish State.
