SAISON 3, ÉPISODE 4

Episode 04: A Hostile Witness

Just a few months after the horrific events of December 1971, Martin Conmey and Dick Donnelly were charged Una Lynskey's murder. Martin had made a false confession to gardaí at Trim Garda Station, however Dick refused to sign anything despite claiming he came under similar pressure. They each hoped that the truth would emerge before the judge and jury at the Central Criminal Court in the height of the summer of 1972. In this episode, we'll bring you into the courtroom for those 13 days of evidence - could they put their faith in Lady Justice?

SAISON 3, ÉPISODE 1

Episode 01: Missing

Una Lynskey was 19 years old in October 1971, and she had a job with the Land Commission in Dublin City. On the evening of Tuesday 12th October, she stepped off a bus on the Fairyhouse Road near Ratoath, Co Meath when she hurried up Porterstown Lane towards her family's farm, a walk that would take no more than 15 minutes. She never made it home. A search began within the hour, but there was no sign of her. However, soon there were repeated descriptions of an unusual car on the lane that afternoon, and a number of locals in the area remembered hearing screams not long after Una got off the bus. Who would have taken her? And why?

The Future of Transport

A recent Newstalk survey on commuting has found that people are spending longer on their journeys to work since the pandemic. And so all week we’ve been speaking to transport experts, policymakers as well as commuters themselves to hear about the issues being faced on a daily basis as we look to get from A to B. But what does the future hold for commuting and for transport in general? Are the likes of Hyper Loop, Air Taxis, and automated pods a thing of science fiction? Professor Marcus Enoch, a professor of transport strategy at Loughborough University in the UK joins Jonathan to discuss.

Why Two-Thirds of Sex Crime Allegations in Ireland Are Never Prosecuted

A new investigation by Newstalk has revealed that almost 18,000 sexual offence cases were referred by Gardaí to the Director of Public Prosecutions over the past decade – but nearly two-thirds never resulted in prosecution. In today’s podcast, Ciara Doherty is joined by Newstalk reporter Jessica Woodlock, who has obtained detailed case data through Freedom of Information laws. Together, they examine why so many allegations of rape, sexual assault and other sex-based crimes never make it to court in Ireland. Drawing on newly released figures, the episode explores the DPP’s decision-making process, the role of evidence, and the real-world impact of being told that your case won’t proceed to prosecution. Listeners hear from rape survivor Ciara Mangan, who shares her powerful story of trauma and justice, a decade in the making. Senior Counsel Lorcan Staines also contributes legal insight, including how evidence is weighed in sex crime cases, and why the conviction rate – once a prosecution goes ahead – is actually very high. Executive Director of Rape Crisis Ireland Cliona Sadlier offers reaction from frontline services, as questions grow around whether the criminal justice system is adequately serving survivors of sexual violence. The episode also looks at efforts to improve prosecution rates, what types of cases are reaching the courts, and whether changes in legislation and social attitudes are making a difference. If you’ve been affected by any of the issues discussed, please contact the Rape Crisis Centre National 24-Hour Helpline on 1800 77 88 88, or visit rapecrisishelp.ie.
