WHY I LIKE THIS VIDEO: Kurosawa was a master filmmaker, relying on image to convey his emotions. How he captures emotions with this imagery is conceptually brilliant. I could watch this video a hundred times and always learn more.
Companies owned by GAA manager and businessman Séamus 'Banty' McEnaney and 14 other members of his family have been paid more than €130m by the State to house asylum seekers and refugees since 2020, writes Valerie Hanley.
Firms controlled by Mr McEnaney's family received more than €50m in payments between April 2022 and September 2023.
This is on top of over €83m paid to a company belonging to Mr McEnaney himself since 2020, when the procurement of asylum accommodation was taken over by the Department of Integration.
The hotelier and former Monaghan, Meath and Wexford football manager was also among the highest earners from the direct provision system under the Department of Justice for several years up to 2020.
But providing accommodation for people seeking international protection or fleeing conflict has really become a family affair since 2022.
