It's claimed Ennis town has descended into lawlessness due to escalations in incidents of criminality, feuding and anti-social behaviour being committed openly in public view. It comes as a Clare TD has appealed to the Garda Commissioner to intervene and commit further resources to this county. It's claimed the most robust responsible is needed from Gardaí, the Special Criminal Court and the Criminal Assets Bureau is needed to put down escalating feud violence in Clare. It follows a number of incidents over the festive period, including one which saw two vehicles damaged on the Mill Road in Ennis on Christmas Day, while a number of individuals brandished implements on the streets. Clare Joint Policing Committee member and Fianna Fáil Deputy Cathal Crowe has since written to the Superintendent of the Clare-Tipperary Garda Division and Garda Commissioner Drew Harris on the matter. He says the full force of the law is needed. A Ennis resident meanwhile claims the town has become unsafe for older people and that increased incidents of criminality , public intoxication and anti-social behaviour are ruining the county's capital. Morning Focus Listener John says situation urgently needs to be addressed.

Convicted drug dealer, David Waldron, played a senior role in the Finglas-Cabra crime gang following the deaths of Martin 'Marlo' Hyland in 2006 and Eamon 'The Don' Dunne in 2010. But rather than attracting press attention in the way his associates had, Waldron flew under the radar to build his drugs empire out of the limelight. Last week, his lavish lifestyle was laid bare after he lost his four year High Court battle against the Criminal Assets Bureau. His 25 year run in the drugs trade extends beyond narcotics to feature luxury Celtic Tiger properties bought with the proceeds of crime, a sex shop-owning 'headshop czar' and a funeral business his wife, Charlene, claimed to found called 'Elegant Send-off.' Conor Lally explains who David Waldron is and how he managed to evade authorities for so long.Presented by Sorcha Pollak. Produced by Declan Conlon and Aideen Finnegan. Hosted on Acast.

It's claimed John Bruton will be remembered by the people of Clare as a social innovator far ahead of his time. The former Taoiseach, who held office from 1994 to 1997, passed away peacefully today at the Mater Hospital in Dublin, aged 76. During his time in office, he was credited with securing funding for the new Shannon Airport Terminal, forming a working relationship with Sinn Féin Leader Gerry Adams and establishing the Criminal Assets Bureau. Former party colleague and Ennistymon Fine Gael Senator Martin Conway has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that John Bruton was a statesman that always put the interests of others before his own.

Just over 25 years ago, the Criminal Assets Bureau was established in the wake of the killings of Detective Jerry McCabe and journalist Veronica Guerin. The murders shocked the nation and served as a wakeup call to the authorities that they were losing the fight against gangland figures and paramilitary groups. Over the years, the Criminal Assets Bureau has seized almost €200million in the proceeds of crime, forcing many to move abroad to keep hold of their cash. Today, Conor Pope speaks to Crime editor Conor Lally about the impact of Cab on the Irish criminal landscape. This episode was originally published in November 2021.

From his memories of Veronica Guerin's murder to the Criminal Assets Bureau, the Gardai and the Kinahan Gang, he chats about his life and what he is up to now.

He is the former businessman whose reputation lies in tatters after the High Court heard he was given €4.5 million by crime bosses Daniel Kinahan and Thomas 'Bomber' Kavanagh to wash through his property empire. The court heard this week that Jim Mansfield Jnr and members of his family, including his elderly mother Anne, will not contest the Proceeds of Crime case taken by the Criminal Assets Bureau, which involves an extraordinary tale of suitcases of cash being delivered to the family mansion, Tasaggart House. Yet, for years Mansfield Jnr vigorously defended his reputation and, just like Kinahan, attempted to both silence and use the media to do so. Nicola Tallant talks to Sunday World Deputy Editor Niall Donald about the fall of the House of Mansfield, about the lies and threats along the way and about the importance of robust journalism and a free media to our society.

It's a time for celebration and a place to remember the values and morals which shape an individual's journey through life. But sometimes funerals can be hijacked and turned into a display of wealth and power, which is totally at odds with the values of society. As the dust settles on the funeral of prolific burglar Dean Maguire, which made headlines across the world, Nicola Tallant chats to journalist Eamon Dillon about what mistakes were made by gardai and church officials who dropped the ball and allowed the business of crime to take centre stage on an altar. We discuss the reasons why criminals like to bow out surrounded by their bling and how a new generation of Instagram gangsters desperate to show off their wealth may find themselves as ripe pickings for the Criminal Assets Bureau.

Three residential properties, one city centre business premises and one million of stolen crypto currency isn't bad for a day's work at the Criminal Assets Bureau. But that's just the start of the countless homes, monies, cars and designer goods that are stacking up to make this a bumper year for the Bureau. So what is the CAB at and how is it identifying the hundreds of targets across the country who are regularly handing over their loot without a fight? Nicola Tallant is joined by Sunday World journalist Eamon Dillon to look at the recent successes of the Bureau as it approaches 25 years since it's formation.

‘Fat’ Andy Connors was part of a notorious burglary gang that terrorised Ireland for years, robbing elderly people in their homes and often using horrendous violence against them. He was shot dead in 2014 by an unknown gunman and in the aftermath of his murder the Criminal Assets Bureau secured a €2.5m judgement against his widow, Ann Connors. The judgement included a massive property known as 'The Ranch', which in recent months has expanded into neighbouring lands and has been turned into unofficial halting sites where ‘chalets’ are on offer for €1,500 per month. This week, Nicola Tallant chats with Sunday World journalist Eamon Dillon about the rise, the fall and the legacy of 'Fat' Andy Connors.
