  • Killer dentist Colin Howell’s daughter on learning her father murdered her mother

    Killer dentist Colin Howell’s daughter on learning her father murdered her mother
    Feb 15 2026
    This episode of The Indo Daily comes from our sister podcast The BelTel. Lauren Bradford-Clarke grew up believing her mother Lesley had taken her own life before finding out the truth – her father was a murderer. She was told her mum Lesley took her own life, eventually being told it was part of an apparent ‘suicide’ pact with a man, Trevor Buchanan – the husband of the woman who would eventually become a mother-like figure to her. That woman was Hazel Stewart, how had been having an affair with Lauren’s father, Colin Howell. Then 18-years after the deaths, Colin Howell walked into a police station and confessed to murdering them, implicating Stewart as his partner in crime. Dr Lauren Bradford-Clarke, now a criminologist, spoke with the Belfast Telegraph’s Claire Williamson.

    Indo Politics: Airbnb U-turns, rent resets and enter… The Housing Tsar
    Feb 14 2026
    The Government has pushed through major rent reforms, softened its Airbnb crackdown and appointed a brand new housing supremo... all in one week. On this episode of Indo Politics, Tabitha Monahan and Conal Thomas unpack what the rent reset really means for tenants, why some towns are dodging the Airbnb squeeze, and whether the new housing tsar can actually speed up supply, or if it’s just another layer of bureaucracy.

  • Rex Ryan’s ‘The Monk’: An ordinary decent criminal rebrand?

    Rex Ryan’s ‘The Monk’: An ordinary decent criminal rebrand?
    Feb 13 2026

    Ten years on from the Regency Hotel shooting, a one-man play about Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch is returning to the stage in the Ambassador Theatre after last year’s sold-out run. Written and performed by Rex Ryan, son of the late broadcaster Gerry Ryan, the show charts the life of one of Ireland’s most infamous and divisive figures. The Monk’s name is etched into the public consciousness through an unprecedented gangland feud that reshaped the country’s criminal landscape. So, does putting his story onstage risk humanising, even glamorising, a violent chapter in recent Irish history?
