Twenty-five years ago, as a long summer drew to a close, a night out ended in tragedy. It changed the lives of four young men forever, ending another's far too soon. It happened in the leafy, affluent suburb of Donnybrook in south Dublin. A fight broke out among a group of young men outside Anabel's nightclub. When it was over, 18-year-old Brian Murphy lay on the ground. Hours later, he was pronounced dead. What followed wasn't just a murder investigation - it was a case that exposed a deep divide in Irish society, focusing on the Dublin southside rugby schools and Blackrock College in particular.

This week on The Indo Daily we are looking back at some of our best investigative episodes from 2025 so far. Today's episode was first released on May 6th 2025; The rise and fall of Glen Ward – the gangster known as ‘Mr Flashy', has played out in less than a decade. Earlier this summer Ward was given a five and a half year sentence while his brother Eric was previously jailed for five years. Because of the threat to his safety, Ward has been held on a 23.5 hour lock-up, while the address of the prison also cannot be published. However, gardaí have no doubt that they have not seen the last of the 32-year-old criminal, who is due to be released from prison while still in his mid-30s. By mid-2016 Glen Ward took the reins of the crime group which became known as the ‘Gucci Gang' because of their taste for expensive clothing and jewellery. Ward was no exception to this and was given the nickname ‘Mr Flashy'. Host; Fionnán Sheahan, Guest; Robin Schiller See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are corvids overabundant pests or are they simply survivors in landscapes we've shaped? Why do these birds seem to look at us as intently as we look at them? What can ravens teach us about intelligence that might humble our sophisticated intelligence tests? This episode explores the world of corvids, from the familiar rooks and jackdaws to the acrobatic choughs and elusive jays that call Ireland home.Dr Fionn Ó Marcaigh, author of "Encounters with Corvids," joins us to unpack the complex relationship between humans and these remarkable birds. We discuss their extraordinary intelligence, including studies showing ravens can remember and recognise individual humans, and how they've adapted to thrive alongside us while other species struggle. Fionn shares stories from his research and observations, revealing behaviours that demonstrate that these birds are always "up to something" when we encounter them in the wild.In our conversation, we tackle the thorny issue of predator control and conservation dilemmas. While corvids thrive in human-modified landscapes, ground-nesting birds face rapid declines. We also explore the mythology and folklore that has shaped our perceptions of these birds, from Celtic battle goddesses to Norse deities, and examine how cultural attitudes influence modern conservation challenges. This episode offers perspectives on living alongside intelligent wildlife in ever-changing landscapes, reminding us that sometimes the most familiar creatures hold great surprises.Subscribe to Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science NewsletterSupport the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee.Recommended Books: tommysoutdoors.com/booksMerch: tommysoutdoors.com/shopFollow Tommy's Outdoors on Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook

Following months of speculation and negotiations, the European Union has finally struck a trade agreement with the US which will see both sides settle for a 15pc baseline tariff rate on EU imports to the US. Although an out-and-out trade war appears to have been averted, the agreement is being described in certain quarters as a “capitulation” by the world's largest trading bloc. Today on The Indo Daily, Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Dónal O'Donovan, Group Business Editor with the Irish Independent – to break down the finer details of the deal, and to find out what implications it will have for Ireland's economy.

It's a bitter, messy row with multiple parties involved, and many, many millions on the line. John Magnier – one of Ireland's wealthiest men and a notoriously private individual – has taken the stand in a high-stakes legal row over an estate that makes Downton Abbey look modest. Land, riches and reputations are all on the line, with recent evidence hearing details of secret phones, wiped computers, hidden assets and ‘dirty' money.

This may be the most open Irish presidential election we've ever seen, with every man and his dog seeming to have been linked to the Áras at some point. Former Taoisigh, human rights advocates and cage fighters alike have thrown their names into the mix. Sinn Fein president has seemingly U turned on a previous decision to rule herself out, and if she did decide to run, could very well become this countries 10th president.

DJ Carey, once hailed as hurling royalty, now stands at the centre of a deception scandal that shook Ireland and reached as far as Texas. He pleaded guilty to 10 counts of deception after an alleged cancer diagnosis helped him extract over €400,000 by duping generous friends and even tapping into wealthy circles in Texas during trips to Dallas – all the time he was chasing aid he didn't need.

Once hailed as the enfant terrible of Irish cuisine, Dylan McGrath had a Michelin star by the age 29, became household TV presenter by 33, but after a fiery few years, his most prominent restaurant Fade Street Social is on life-support, owing €1.7m to Revenue.

Lawyers for Conor McGregor dramatically withdrew a bid to introduce new evidence in his civil rape case appeal. Evidence included allegations made by Samantha O'Reilly and Steven Cummins – former neighbours of Ms Nikita Hand. Ms Hand's counsel John Gordon said his side was in ‘shock' at the late withdrawal of the fresh evidence application. In her affidavit, Ms O'Reilly had claimed she was woken by sounds of “screaming and shouting” from Ms Hand's house. Looking from her window, she said she could see “Ste's arms moving up and down as if he was hitting Nikita”. “I also saw him moving his hips in a way that indicated to me that he was kicking her,” she claimed. In an affidavit, Ms Hand dismissed this account. "My ex-partner Stephen Redmond [known as 'Ste'] did not assault me on the night of December 9/10, 2018, and never assaulted me in the course of our relationship, or since," she said. "I don't want to speculate on why Samantha and Steven are making up these lies." Ms Hand's counsel John Gordon said his side was in “shock” at the late withdrawal of the fresh evidence application. He said it was "not appropriate" to dress up the withdrawal of the application in such a way. The barrister said Ms Hand had been “put through the wringer” after the allegation, which she denounced as “lies”, was outlined in court and reported in the newspapers. Today on the Indo Daily, Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Shane Phelan, Legal Affairs Editor with the Irish Independent, to unpack a busy opening day in Conor McGregor's civil rape appeal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
