The Garda Commissioner will be invited to a meeting of Clare's elected representatives following a reported surge in crime throughout the county. In one week of January alone, Gardaí appealed for witnesses in relation to burglaries in Ennistymon, Ennis, Sixmilebridge and Scariff, a further vehicle theft in the county town, and an incident where a woman was found with several serious injuries in Corofin. According to the Department of Justice, 288 Gardaí are currently stationed in Clare, the lowest amount on record in eleven years. Clarecastle Sinn Féin Councillor Tommy Guilfoyle has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan the county is severely under resourced.

The Garda Commissioner has said there is something in the fact that more than 3,000 people voted in the General Election for the head of an organised crime group that has to be addressed.

A new Garda lorry has been rolled out which is aiming to tackle dangerous driving from a higher vantage point.

Clare's GRA representative insists it's not too late for Drew Harris to re-gain the confidence of rank and file personnel. It comes as the Garda Representatives Association's annual conference continues in Westport, County Mayo today. Issues with internal disciplinary procedures, recruitment and retention, administration burdens and a lack of guidance, training, and support when dealing with intimidatory protests are set to dominate discussions. Clare Garda Paul Crowley says the Commissioner must heed their calls for change in order to prevent further disillusionment within the force.

The GRA annual conference kicks off this evening but Justice Minister, Helen McEntee will not be in attendance along with Garda Commissioner, Drew Harris. Will Fine Gael be able to keep up their reputation of ‘the law and order party' if they won't face rank and file Gardai? That's the question from Kieran's guest: crime journalist, Paul Williams.

Minister for Justice, Helen McEntee will not attend the Garda Representative Association's annual conference – as delegates voted to not invite Garda Commissioner, Drew Harris citing a breakdown in trust. Dr Pat Leahy Former Garda Assistant Commissioner for Dublin gave his reaction to Newstalk Breakfast.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall. * Inniu an tríú lá déag de mhí Aibreáin. Is mise Alanna Ní Ghallachóir. Chuaigh OJ Simpson, iar-réalta peile Meireacánaí, ar shlí na fírinne le linn na seachtaine. Bhain sé clú amach mar fhear spóirt sna seascaidí agus arís mar aisteoir sna hochtóidí ach ansin bhí sé sna ceannlínte arís in 1994 nuair a fuarthas a iarbhean agus cara dá cuid marbh taobh amuigh dá teach in Los Angeles. Triaileadh Simpson sna dúnmharaithe, ach saoradh é sa bhliain 1995. Chuaigh an cás i gcion ar na Stáit Aontaithe ar fad. In 2008 fuarthas ciontach é ar chúiseanna difriúla, i gcás sibhialta, agus gearradh píonós priosúin air ar feadh 33 bliain. Fuair sé bás ón ailse Dé Céadaoin, lena pháistí agus a gharpháistí ina thimpeall, de réir ráiteas teaghlaigh.   Mar gheall ar líon na dtimpistí bóthair marfacha in Éirinn, fógraíodh go mbeidh achan garda síochána ag tabhairt faoi ghníomhaíocht sábháilteachta ar bhóithre go ceann leathuaire le linn achan seala. Déardaoin, d'fhógair Coimisinéir na nGardaí, Drew Harris, go raibh ar An Gharda Síochána a dtionscnaimh póilíneachta a chur in oiriúint chun sábháilteacht a mhéadú ar bhóithre na hÉireann. Ní ba luaithe sa lá, d'inis an Tánaiste Micheál Martin don Dáil gur “seafóid” é nach féidir le húdaráis áitiúla eolas maidir le tuairteanna bóithre a tharla le linn bliana anuas a fheiceáil de bharr rialacha GDPR agus gur cheart go réiteofaí an fhadhb “gan a thuilleadh moille”.  D'fhoilsigh Fáilte Éireann tuairisc nua le linn na seachtaine chun ceiliúradh a dhéanamh ar 10 mbliana de Shlí an Atlantaigh Fhiáin. De réir na tuairisce, tugtar isteach níos mó ná €3 bhilliún i rith na bliana ó Dhún na nGall go Corcaigh mar gheall ar Shlí an Atlantaigh Fhiáin, atá 2,500 ciliméadar ar fad. Tuairimíonn Fáilte Éireann gur tháinig beag nár 2 milliún turasóirí sa bhreis ar cuairt go Slí an Atlantaigh Fhiáin, i gcomparáid leis an bhliain 2013 agus cuireadh 35,000 post nua ar fáil i gcaitheamh na ndeich mbliana. Seoladh an tuairisc ag Meitheal, mórócáid bhliantúil dírithe ar chúrsaí turasóireachta, a bhí ar siúl i gCill Airne. * Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

Dr Jeremy T. Hua MD, MPH is a lung doctor at National Jewish Health  in the Division of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences. He specializes in patients who get sick from where they work and how we can help keep them healthy. Today we discuss crystalline silica and the booming lung disease caused by inhaling it. Many of the workplaces are smaller, and employers may be unaware of the risk to employees or be put at a competitive disadvantage if they do address the risk and wider standards are not in place to protect all workers. However, the products involving quartz are everywhere, often in our kitchens, bathrooms and more. Listen and learn how so many of the products in are lives increasingly use engineered stone, how silica exposure is increasing, and what needs to be done. To Do - Learn more about silicosis from the American Lung Association or at the post for this episode.  - When considering a kitchen upgrade or other changes, consider avoiding engineered stone unless you know it has been made with high safety standards in place.  - Write to your members of Congress to encourage robust funding and staffing of OSHA and MSHA.  - Listen to last month's podcast episode about coal mining and silica with Dr. Drew Harris to learn more about how to support miners. - Consider a donation to the American Lung Association, who advocates for patients with lung diseases including Silicosis.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall. * Inniu an dara lá de mhí na Nollag. Is mise Barra Mac Giolla Aoláin. Tá a mbuíochas léirithe ag teaghlach Emily Hand leo siúd a thacaigh leo an cailín Éireannach-Iosraelach atá naoi mbliana d'aois a fháil ar ais ó fhuadach Hamas. Tá sé ráite ag an Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, gur freagraíodh paidreacha an náisiúin nuair a fógraíodh go raibh Emily Hand saor ó bhraighdeanas in Gaza. Cuireadh síneadh leis an sos cogaidh idir Iosrael agus Hamas agus scaoileadh níos mó giall idir phríosúnaigh in Gaza agus Phalaistínigh i ngéibheann in Iosrael. Tugann an sos cogaidh deis cúnamh daonnúil a bhfuil géarghá leis a cheadú isteach i stráice Gaza. Tá sé fógartha go bhfuil an t-amhránaí agus cumadóir amhrán Shane MacGowan tar éis bháis. Scríobh na Pogues ar na meáin shóisialta, "Fuair Shane bás suaimhneach ag 3am ar maidin lena bhean chéile Victoria agus a theaghlach taobh leis." Chaith sé roinnt míonna in Ospidéal Naomh Uinseann i mBaile Átha Cliath i mbliana ach scaoileadh amach é seachtain ó shin agus d'fhill abhaile chun am a chaitheamh lena chairde agus lena theaghlach. Bhí clú agus cáil air as an ról sa bhanna ceoil na Pogues agus an singil iomráiteach a bhí acu, Fairytale of New York. Dúirt an tUachtarán Micheál D. Ó hUiginn gur “Cheangail a chuid focal na hÉireannaigh ar fud na cruinne lena gcultúr agus lena stair, ag cuimsiú an oiread sin mothúcháin dhaonna ar na bealaí is fileata.” Tá sé ráite ag Coimisinéir na nGardaí go bhfuil an tAonad Ord Poiblí le 200 taser a fháil, agus go bhfuil sé ag iarraidh go gcuirfí dhá ghunna uisce ar fáil go buan. Dúirt an Coimisinéir Drew Harris leis an Choiste Oireachtais um Dhlí agus Cirt go bhfuil gardaí ag imscaradh dhá ghunna uisce, atá ar iasacht ón PSNI, i mBaile Átha Cliath faoi láthair. Beidh ceamaraí coirp ar fáil sa phríomhchathair go luath in 2024, bliain níos luaithe ná mar a bhí beartaithe ar dtús, agus tá gach garda tosaigh chun sprae piobair níos láidre a fháil. D'athraigh an rialtas an dlí an tseachtain seo caite chun úsáid a bhaint as ceamairí coirp tar éis an fhoréigin i mBaile Átha Cliath. * Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

On the day the Dáil held a minute's silence for Shane MacGowan, the political system continued to grapple with the fallout from the Dublin riots. Helen McEntee may face a no confidence motion, while Drew Harris still refuses to accept that gardaí lost control of the capital's streets. Áine and the team consider the week's political developments.

Clare's GRA representative believes anyone looking to become a Garda would be "thinking twice" about it based on footage from last week's Dublin riots. It comes as the Garda Commissioner will face questions from TDs and Senators at an Oireachtas Justice Committee this afternoon. Drew Harris was to appear alongside the Justice Minister, but Helen McEntee is standing in for the Taoiseach at leaders questions. Over the course of the events which took place in the capital last Thursday, over 400 Gardaí were deployed, with several sustaining injuries, one seriously injured, three patrol cars damaged and eight other Garda vehicles extensively damaged. Clare Garda Paul Crowley says the level of abuse endured by members, coupled with the lack of training given in how to appropriately use force, means aspiring Gardaí are being discouraged from pursuing the career.

On Wednesday's Morning Focus, Alan Morrissey was joined by Timmy Dooley, Fianna Fáil Senator from Mountshannon, who is calling for the Garda Commissioner to step down. The Clare Senator told the Seanad that frontline gardaí don't think Drew Harris “has their back." Some opposition parties have called on both Commissioner Harris and Justice Minister Helen McEntee to resign, arguing their positions have become untenable following last week's riots in the capital. Commissioner Harris is set to appear before the Oireachtas Justice Committee this afternoon. Justice Minister Helen McEntee was also due to be there, but will be standing in for the Taoiseach at leaders questions in the Dáil instead. Picture (c) by Stephen Barnes from Getty Images via Canva

Summary Thomas Leahy (Website; LinkedIn) and Eleanor Williams (Website; Twitter) join Andrew to discuss the intelligence war during “the Troubles.” Thomas lives in Cardiff and Eleanor lives in Belfast.  What You'll Learn Intelligence The Troubles through the lens of intelligence Some key intelligence players in the Northern Ireland conflict How the IRA and the British Army adapted organizationally The role intelligence played in the end of the conflict Reflections The fluid nature of motivations and intentions How historic narratives shape and constrain the here-and-now And much, much more… Episode Notes From the late 60's to the late 90's Republican and Loyalist paramilitaries, and the British and Irish states, were engaged in a period known as “the Troubles”: a struggle to define or redefine the future of the island of Ireland. This is an issue with deep and complex roots, but the intelligence dimension of the period known as the Troubles is fascinating and often overlooked. To help us get our head around it all, Andrew sat down with two specialists to discuss all things intelligence and the Troubles: from the role that MI5 and MI6 played, to the Force Research Unit and the RUC Special Branch, through to how the IRA played the counterintelligence game and the role that informers, agents and moles, such as the notorious “Stakeknife,” played.  Thomas is the author of the Intelligence War Against the IRA, while Eleanor is a doctoral candidate comparing intelligence use during the Northern Irish and Colombian conflicts.  And… The head of the Republic of Ireland's police and security intelligence force, the Garda Síochána, is Drew Harris. Drew Harris was a career Royal Ulster Constabulary officer whose father, also a career RUC officer, was killed by the IRA in 1989. He was the first external appointee from outside the Garda. Quote of the Week "What's their [IRA] main role in this intelligence conflict?...one of the key points here…the IRA was quite highly regional regionalized. That's actually quite key to explain why British intelligence had some difficulties against them…Initially, it was set up similar to armed forces. It would have brigades, battalions and companies…the IRA operated this kind of army structure up to 1975…the IRA then switched to this new strategy…And part of this was to prevent mass infiltration, which had started to become a problem, particularly in Belfast pre-1975. So, what it adopted in Belfast and Derry was a cell structure." – Thomas Leahy Resources Books The Intelligence War Against the IRA, T. Leahy (CUP, 2020) Britain's Secret War Against the IRA, A.
