    Sex abuser Michael Shine; and Russian technology being used by three state agencies

    A statutory of investigation should be carried out into the crimes of convicted sex abuser Michael Shine during his time working at Our Lady of Lourdes in Drogheda, an independent report has said. At least three state agencies are customers of a password company using Russian technology prompting national security concerns, an Irish Times investigation has found. Doctors have told The Irish Times that e-scooters have become the biggest cause of traumatic brain injuries in children. The prime suspect in the murder of the American woman Jamey Carney in Co Kerry last week, will be held by Jordanian authorities for 15 days to allow for an investigation. The Fifa World Cup is almost over, and hasn’t failed to display the twist and turns we love and expect.  Presented by Andrew McNair. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Exports to Russia; the murder of Jamey Carney; and Montenegro’s application to join the EU

    Aughinish Alumina exports making their way to the Russian military supply chain cannot be ruled out, a government report is expected to say. The investigation into the killing of 43-year-old Jamey Carney is entering a new phase as attention shifts to the legal challenges in speaking to the main suspect, 28-year-old Ahmed Al Saqar, who fled to Jordan. The government has failed to engage with investigations into killings during the troubles in Northern Ireland, the head of the Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information has told The Irish Times. Montenegro has become closure to securing European Union membership, but barriers still remain.  Presented by Andrew McNair. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Deportation flights; 'rough sex' defence; Australia; 'book-handling' in Berlin

    The State paid more than €1 million for a single deportation flight when returning 42 adults and children from Ireland to South Africa in June. The ‘rough sex’ defence didn’t work for Lorcan Murphy. The 38 year old Dubliner - jailed for murder in Hungary last week - wasn’t the first to try it either. The reality of building a life in Sydney, Australia? “It’s bloody hard to afford anything,” writes Irishman Cormac McConville. In 1941 Brian O’Nolan, better known as Flann O’Brien and Myles na gCopaleen, proposed a Book Handling Agency in The Irish Times. On Sunday evening, 85 years later, Flann’s idea became reality in a Berlin bar where a crack team of literary experts was on hand to make unread books look well-read. Ireland’s second oldest woman is remarkable not only for her age (107), but Walburga Monaghan’s son Michael says it’s her general health, too. She rarely gets ill, takes no medication and her mind is sharp enough to continue The Irish Times Simplex crossword, something she has been doing for as long as she can remember.

    Iran trades blows with the US; and massive gun stash linked to Polish crime gang in Ireland

    The conflict between the US and Iran has escalated again after Donald Trump said he would reimpose the blockade on Iranian ports and charge a 20% tariff on any ships trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Gardaí have seized one of Ireland’s largest organised crime arms dumps in more than a decade, uncovering machine guns, pistols, and drugs linked to a Polish gang.

    Violent pornography ban; GAA World Games; and Yellow weather warnings for heat

    Possession, production and sharing of extreme or violent pornography could be effectively banned in Ireland under proposals being put to cabinet by the Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan this week. The Department of Justice was concerned about cuts to the Garda budget for security during Ireland’s EU presidency, internal documents have revealed. Research being led at Armagh Observatory and Planetarium (AOP) could help answer one of humanity’s oldest questions and pave the way for “greater understanding of the origins of life”, according to the astronomer leading the project. The GAA World Games begins today with hundreds of players from around the world gathering in Waterford. Yellow weather warnings for heat issued by Met Éireann come into effect this morning effecting countiesCork, Kerry, Limerick, Galway, Mayo.  Presented by Andrew McNair. Hosted on Acast.

    There has been more escalation in the exchange of fire between Iran and the United States. The brother of Mackenzie Michalski, who was murdered by a Dublin man in Hungary in November 2024, has said he is happy the man is off the streets having been handed 14 years in prison. Political correspondent Harry McGee explains why there is so much opposition to hare coursing in the Daíl.

    Road deaths; water leakages; artists' privacy concerns; tech tips for your holidays

    Minister of State for Road Transport Seán Canney has told the Road Safety Authority (RSA) he was concerned about its “lack of visibility” following a series of road deaths late last year. The regulator for utilities has imposed a €31 million penalty on Uisce Éireann for failing to meet performance targets, relating to leakages and bad debts. The Government should recuse itself from negotiating legislation that touches on digital policy and corporate tax in Brussels during its Council of the EU presidency, given its “questionable track record” and cosy relationship with tech multinationals, a group of 50 academics have has said. Applicants to the Basic Income for the Arts (BIA) scheme have raised concerns that plans to make their Personal Public Service (PPS) numbers publicly available could result in identity theft or fraud. Holiday itineraries, packing tips? There’s an AI app for that. Technology can take a lot of the guesswork out of summer breaks. Presented by Aideen Finnegan Hosted on Acast.

    Black-listed gambling sites; Sinn Féin's merch profits; Returning emigrants

    Irish authorities granted gambling licences to six companies at the heart of a global network of black-market betting websites. Two Irish companies were also found to be processing payments for unlicensed gambling sites operating in Europe. Ireland’s richest political party, Sinn Fein, sold merchandising worth euro more than €405,000 last year, according to financial accounts filed with the Standards in Public Office Commission (Sipo). Ireland remains “well off-track” in cutting greenhouse gas emissions after a fall of just 2.2 per cent last year, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Columnist Laura Kennedy is writing movingly today about what it feels like to return home as an emigrant, remaking a new life in a familiar setting. Presented by Aideen Finnegan Hosted on Acast.
