Airbnb’s saucy Dublin room rates, Danny McCoy in Downing Street, and RTÉ’s sports rights

A new €250 million venture capital fund that plans to buy equity stakes in Irish SMEs will be launched on Tuesday with backing from AIB, Bank of Ireland and a State investment fund. Joe Brennan has the details.
