Philip Cairns - Part 2

In October of 1986, on an ordinary Autumn Thursday, 13-year-old Philip Cairns disappeared. He had just finished lunch at his house in Rathfarnham, Dublin 16 and was walking back to school for his afternoon classes down quiet suburban lanes when he vanished into thin air. To this day Philip is one of the most well-known missing persons cases in Ireland. Despite almost 40 years of nationwide searches and appeals, no one has ever been arrested and Philip has never been found. In Part 2 of our series on Philip Cairns we look at the biggest tangible clue in the case - Philip's schoolbag - and the decades of disappointment that followed that hopeful discovery, plus the fresh optimism Pirate Predator's Peter Mulryan has brought to the case.

O'Mahony's Munster worries, provincial URC shutout, WXV Global Series recap

Neil Treacy is joined by Ian Keatley on this week's RTE Rugby podcast, as we look back on a tough start to the URC for the four Irish provinces. Former Munster out-half Keatley reacts to some explosive comments from his former captain Peter O'Mahony on the current state of Munster Rugby, and agrees that changes are needed in the way the organisation is run if they are to get back to former glory. The ex-Ireland international also recaps the province's defeat to Glasgow Warriors last Saturday, where he was encouraged by some elements of their game, in spite of the 26-20 loss. We look at Leinster's defeat to the Lions in Johannesburg, and pick out some of the positives Leo Cullen may have taken from a game where his side picked up two losing-bonus points. We analyse how Connacht were worn down in the final quarter by a powerful Stormers side in Galway on Friday night, and we look at how Ulster face a daunting trip to Glasgow as they try to rebound from their defeat to Edinburgh. 00:00 - Hitting the panic button after four defeats for the provinces? 05:25 - Ian reacts to Peter O'Mahony's comments on how Munster Rugby is run 15:00 - Some positives in spits of defeat for Munster? 18:20 - Signs of a new style of playing with Munster? 22:50 - Caelan Doris reported to be out until the new year 24:45 - Leinster pick up two bonus-points - will Leo Cullen be satisfied with that? 33:00 - Connacht ground down by relentless Stormers 35:15 - Have Irish teams got an issue playing the South Africans? 41:10 - How much is Ian reading into Ulster's shocking 50 minutes against Edinburgh? 48:30 - WXV with Hannah O'Connor See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
