The bankrupt Dublin Jeweller, the fake gems and the missing diamonds
In recent weeks, The Sunday Independent revealed that a customer took legal action against Empress Fine Jewels, which was ordered to pay her nearly €35,000, after diamond rings she entrusted to the store were reported stolen while being taken by a pensioner to another location to be cleaned. She received a call the next day from the jeweller, telling her the rings had been stolen from the pensioner on a Dublin Bus. Another customer of the same Dublin-based jeweller was “disappointed but not surprised” to learn that a €3,000 emerald and diamond ring she purchased contains fake gemstones. Ali Bracken joins Kevin Doyle to speak about her investigation into Empress Fine Jewels. Host; Kevin Doyle, Guest; Ali Bracken See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nicola Tallant – “The Monk dined on a haloumi burger on our first real face to face’
Today's Indo Daily is brought to you by one of our sister podcasts Under the Grill. Podcaster Nicola Tallant joins Kevin Dundon and Caoimhe Young in the Under the Grill kitchen to chat about her dad’s roast chicken dinner, breaking bread with criminals and why we are fascinated by crime. “I mean there was no coddle or any of this sort of stuff even though you think he's such a traditional dub, don't you? “I'd say he's better taste than you and I. He's floating around the Mediterranean and he's probably eaten very nicely. So, he ordered a haloumi burger, and I had embarrassingly had chicken wings. What an amateur I am. The Crime World host reveals that eating habits can tell a lot about how dangerous a murderer is, remembering killer Joe O’Reilly who, she says, didn’t lose his appetite before appealing for information on the death of his wife on The Late Late Show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
