The Indo Daily: Forty years on, how the 1985 Air India disaster shook the Irish navy recovery team to their core
It was a popular route, with 307 passengers and 22 crew on board. As the plane passed the south-west coast of Ireland, air-traffic controllers at Shannon Airport were in normal contact with the captain, but suddenly flight 182 vanished. The jumbo jet had crashed killing all on board. 132 bodies were eventually recovered. The Irish Navy were first to respond to the disaster with the vessel the LÉ Aisling, which was in the area on patrol. 'I put binoculars to my head and all I could see was the smoke. As we got closer, the first thing we saw then was the wheels of the aircraft, and then the bodies started coming up,' one of the Navy team said. Who carried out this terror attack? What did they want to achieve? And for the members of the Irish Navy who retrieved 132 bodies from the sea, how did that day change their lives? Today, on the Indo Daily, Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Terry Milewski, former news correspondent with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and by the Irish Independent's Saoirse Hanley, whose father was a member of the Navy crew who helped retrieve bodies after one of the world's deadliest terror attacks in history. Forty years on, are we closer to understanding what happened on that fateful day in 1985?

The week ahead in business: Michael Bloomberg visit to Dublin, Eurogroup candidacy and CSO population data
The founder of Bloomberg will the first speaker at a forum that is being styled 'The Future of Finance'. Such events invariably include a 'fireside chat' – yes, even in the height of summer – and on this occasion it will feature Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe in conversation with Stephen Carroll of Bloomberg News. Also appearing will be Mary-Elizabeth McMunn, deputy governor at the Central Bank of Ireland, and Colin Hunt, the CEO of newly independent AIB, who is being tipped for a big pay rise now that the aforementioned Mr Donohoe has lifted a salary cap on the bank. Staying with the finance minister, and next Friday is the deadline for a challenger to his position as president of the Eurogroup. So far he is the only finance minister among the 20 countries in the eurozone to announce his candidacy for what would be a third term in charge. On Thursday we get a quarterly economic commentary from the ESRI, which may challenge the record for the most mentions of the word 'uncertainty' in a single economic document. The Central Bank managed 47 usages in its Quarterly Bulletin last week. Statistics wise, tomorrow the CSO will have Irish population estimates from administrative data sources for 2023, and on Friday it will have an update on the number of people who have arrived from Ukraine. Finally, most weeks feature a discussion about artificial intelligence and what it all means, and this week's is being hosted by the Institute of International and European Affairs at its Dublin offices tomorrow. There's a 'keynote address' from Niamh Smyth, the junior minister at the Department of Enterprise who has special responsibility for AI. In the subsequent panel discuss, the assistant secretary in the Department, Jean Carberry, will be among the participants.
