Three months into 2026 and the majority of Michael Flatley’s famous contortions and manoeuvres have taken place in a courtroom. As his Lord of the Dance live spectacular celebrates 30 years with an international tour, Flatley is busy contesting who exactly should be running the show. He also finds himself in a financially painful twist; one that has prompted a pair of helpful billionaires to step up. So, who are these generous benefactors, and how did Flatley get into this difficult position in the first place? On this episode of the Indo Daily, host Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Irish Independent legal affairs editor Shane Phelan, and by Irish Independent group business editor Donal O’Donovan, to check in on a contentious and fast-moving legal dispute.
