Bodices are ripped like they’re going out of fashion in Channel 4’s new adaptation of Barbara Taylor Bradford’s bestselling bonkfest, A Woman of Substance (Channel 4, Wednesday). There hasn’t been so much exposed flesh since a heatwave at Bray seafront in May. A Woman of Substance was adapted as a TV series in 1984, where the part of Emma’s Irish best friend and protector was played by a young Liam Neeson. Back then, the character went by “Blackie”; today, he is “Mac” and is portrayed in broad fashion by Belfast actor Niall Wright. But the Irish cast member who truly steals the show is Scanlan.

A lamp post on Lincoln Lane off Arran Quay in Dublin with several lock boxes containing keys for short-term rentals. Threshold said more than 8,600 homes were being advertised as short-term lets nationwide in March, compared to just 2,100 homes listed on Daft.ie as private rentals. The charity based its analysis on data harvested by Inside Airbnb, a US-based platform that uses publicly available information to highlight the impact of short-term rentals on communities. A new system for regulating short-term lets is due to take force from May 20th. Although Dublin was the county with the highest number of short-term lets recorded, at 2,406, this was just 2.3 times the number of long-term rentals advertised on Daft.

The decision by the International Energy Agency to release 400 million barrels of oil from strategic reserves on Tuesday had only a temporary calming effect on oil prices. As a major energy importer, the EU is exposed here, raising risks of a short-term rise in oil and gas prices and also underlining longer-term questions of wider energy security.

And developing alternative sources can provide a cleaner – and potentially cheaper – source of energy, lessening exposure to swings in fossil fuel prices. The fall-out from the conflict in the Gulf gives EU governments – including the Irish one – the opportunity to underline this point.
