Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The market was looking the other way when Barlo Group, the Irish radiator manufacturer that is a leader in the UK market, announced a 112 per cent leap in its full-year profits to Ir pounds 3.9m ( pounds 3.86m) on Wednesday. It showed sales of radiators are heating up, notably in Europe.

But the real excitement at Barlo comes from IRG, the plastics group bought last July for Ir pounds 21.6m. Goodbody stockbrokers in Dublin reckon Barlo will make pounds 4m this year and as much as pounds 7m in 1993/4 as IRG delivers its promise. At 57p, the shares look attractive.
