Clare's County Dog Warden is urging dog owners to control their pets following a violent incident in Kilrush this week. It's understood a labrador-greygound cross attacked and killed a smaller dog while biting a woman who attempted to rescue her pet.

Frankie Coote insists the only ways to exercise control over a dog are to keep it at home or to have it on a lead.

This past weekend brought us the hottest day of the year, with it reaching up to 31.1° Celsius in some parts of the country. And of course, with high weather there comes a high level of beach-goers.There were clips online shared of Portmarnock beach in North Dublin, where cars were blocking both entrances and exits, they were parked up on the grass, some leaving with massive scratches and damage done to the car, and even people abandoning their vehicles.Yesterday, Gardaí confirmed that the car parks at Warren Beach near Rosscarbery and Inchydoney Beach near Clonakilty in West Cork were overcrowded, confirming that there was no longer any safe access to either of the beaches by the afternoon.Joining Kieran to discuss this is Cllr Marie O'Sullivan and Fine Gael TD Brian Brennan.

Sara Fruner"La luce laggiù"Neri Pozzawww.neripozza.itOltre alla fama internazionale, Moreno Mondo ha trovato nella fotografia un modo per fare silenzio intorno a sé e dialogare con la luce. Lo troviamo in una stazione. Ha appena fatto qualcosa di importante e ha perso il treno. Seduto su una panchina, aspetta il successivo, che però sembra non arrivare mai. In quel luogo sospeso, irraggiungibile per gli altri e lontano da dove dovrebbe essere, il tempo dell'attesa gli si spalanca di fronte come un dono: la possibilità di riguardare la propria vita e di soffermarsi su ciò che non ha potuto dimenticare. Il maledetto agosto del lago che lo ha sprofondato nel lutto e nella colpa. I primi passi con la macchina fotografica tra le mani. La madre, che plasma in statuette il dolore per trovarvi un senso. La fragile violenza del padre, intrappolato tra Far West e inadeguatezza. E poi la ventata di nuovo portata da Didi, con il suo bagaglio di traumi, sogni furiosi e abbandoni. Didi che è carnevale laddove Moreno è quaresima. Didi che in lui vede sempre quello che trova la luce nascosta nelle cose, il cercatore dei punti di rottura – la vera bellezza del mondo. La luce laggiù è un romanzo che fa male al modo in cui fanno male le ossa quando si cresce. Ma è anche un coro di storie che congiungono vari angoli di mondo – Italia, Stati Uniti, Giamaica, Svizzera – e convergono in un finale potente dove casa, amore e cura trovano uno spazio inaspettato in cui coesistere.Sara Fruner, nata a Riva del Garda, dal 2017 abita a New York, dove insegna italiano presso la New York University e il Fashion Institute of Technology.

The seizure of the MV Matthew, with its massive consignment of drugs, off the Irish coast in September 2023 was as daring as it was skilful.After days of a cat and mouse chase in challenging weather between the Naval Service and the Matthew, members of the elite Army Ranger Wing descended from a helicopter on to the deck of the cargo ship. The crew were arrested and the drugs found.Operation Piano – which brought Revenue, the Garda and the Defence Forces together – resulted in Ireland's largest ever drugs seizure, worth €156 million.While the operation was an undoubted success, a showcase of ability, power and intent, it also highlighted how ill-equipped the Defence Forces are.Only one ship was available for the operation, and only one helicopter. So many things could have gone wrong.Eight men have been jailed over the drugs seizure, their significant sentences a signal from the Irish courts that anyone involved in such international drug smuggling will be treated severely.Irish Times crime and security correspondent Conor Gallagher describes how the Matthew was intercepted and seized.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/yru63653 Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Long prison terms handed down to drug smugglers. Téarmaí fada príosúin gearrtha ar smuigléirí drugaí. In the Special Criminal Court, eight men were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 13.5 years to 20 years for their involvement in an attempt to smuggle 2.2 million tonnes of cocaine – worth €157 million – into this country. Sa Chúirt Choiriúil Speisialta, gearradh téarmaí príosúin idir 13.5 bliain agus 20 bliain ar ochtar fear as an mbaint a bhí acu le hiarracht ar 2.2 milliún tonna de chócaon – luach €157 milliún – a thabhairt isteach sa tír seo. It was the largest quantity of drugs by weight ever found in the State. Ba é an lear drugaí ba mhó de réir meáchain a fuarthas riamh sa Stát é. The drugs were found on the cargo ship MV Matthew after Army patrols boarded and seized the vessel in the Celtic Sea in September 2023. Fuarthas na drugaí ar lastlong an MV Matthew tar éis d'fhianóglaigh ón Arm an soitheach a bhordáil agus seilbh a ghabháil uirthi sa Mhuir Cheilteach i mí Mheán Fómhair 2023. Gardaí, members of the Naval Service and customs officers also participated in the operation. Bhí Gardaí, comhaltaí den tSeirbhís Chabhlaigh agus oifigigh chustaim rannpháirteach sa bheart freisin. It is believed that six of the eight men were hired by a transnational crime gang in Dubai and then went to South America for the drugs. Creidtear gur fhostaigh drong coireachta trasnáisiúnta seisear den ochtar fear in Dubai agus go ndeachaigh siad ina dhiaidh sin go Meirceá Theas faoi choinne na ndrugaí. The other two men bought a boat in Castletownbere in west Cork with the hope of taking possession of the drugs from the cargo ship. Cheannaigh an bheirt fhear eile bád i mBaile Chaisleáin Bhéarra in iarthar Chorcaí le súil na drugaí a thógáil ar láimh ón lastlong. The situation was resolved, however, as the Naval Service, in conjunction with the Gardaí, had been monitoring the MV Matthew since it approached Ireland and suspected it was carrying drugs. Cuireadh an gúm ó mhaith, áfach, ó bhí an tSeirbhís Chabhlaigh i gcomhar leis na Gardaí ag coinneáil súil ar an MV Matthew ó tháinig sí i ngar d'Éirinn agus iad in amhras go raibh sí ag iompar drugaí. The eight sentenced in court today are: Soheil Jelveh, 51 years old, 17.5 years in prison Cumali Ozgen, 49 years old, 20 years in prison Mykhailo Gavryk, 32 years old, 14 years in prison Harold Estoesta, 31 years old, 18 years in prison Vitaliy Vlasoi, 32 years old, 16.5 years in prison Saeid Hassani, 39 years old, 15 years in prison Jamie Harbron, 31 years old, 13.5 years in prison Vitaliy Lapa, 62 years old 14.5 years in prison. Is an t-ochtar a daoradh sa chúirt inniu: Soheil Jelveh, 51 bliain d'aois, 17.5 bliain príosúin Cumali Ozgen, 49 bliain d'aois, 20 bliain príosúin Mykhailo Gavryk, 32 bliain d'aois, 14 bliain príosúin Harold Estoesta, 31 bliain d'aois, 18 bliain príosúin Vitaliy Vlasoi, 32 bliain d'aois, 16.5 bliain príosúin Saeid Hassani, 39 bliain d'aois, 15 bliain príosúin Jamie Harbron, 31 bliain d'aois, 13.5 bliain príosúin Vitaliy Lapa, 62 bliain d'aois 14.5 bliain príosúin. The court praised the "professionalism and ability" of the State security agencies involved in the drug seizure. Mhol an chúirt "proifisiúntacht agus cumas" ghníomhaireachtaí slándála an Stáit a bhí bainteach leis an ngabháil drugaí. RTÉ News and Current Affairs Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ

George Gibney was arrested on Tuesday in Florida after a Garda request was made to the US State Department to extradite him to Ireland to face charges relating to alleged historical child sex abuse.The 77-year-old former swim coach, who avoided trial on sexual abuse charges in 1994 after successfully challenging his prosecution in the High Court, is now accused of 78 counts of indecent assault and one count of attempted rape relating to four girls; and the alleged attempted rape of one of the girls.All four were minors, aged between eight and 15, and were coached by Gibney.They made complaints to the Garda between 2020 and 2022 after the BBC and Second Captains podcast Where is George Gibney? was aired in 2020.But why did it take over 30 years for Gibney to face fresh charges - and what happens next?Irish Times crime and security editor Conor Lally explains the background.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

Last month, a 22-year-old man named Evan Fitzgerald walked into the busy Fairgreen shopping centre in Carlow and opened fire. He then turned his weapon on himself and ended his own life.Following the incident, details quickly emerged about the young man's fascination with guns and his previous run-in with gardaí.And this week, it emerged Fitzgerald had possession of more weapons than previously reported.The shooting, and gardaí's interaction with Fitzgerald before the Carlow incident, have become the subject of much debate and discussion in recent weeks. Senator and former minister for justice Michael McDowell described the Garda operation to sell Fitzgerald guns as “entrapment”, while Labour TD Alan Kelly questioned the need for gardaí to have delivered weapons to the young man.Today, on In The News, Irish Times Crime and Security Correspondent Conor Gallagher discusses the twists and turns of the Evan Fitzgerald case.Presented by Sorcha Pollak.

It's being argued that Clare's allocation of Garda resources requires a review once its Local Community Safety Partnership is sitting. Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan has signed off on regulations providing for the establishment of Local Community Safety Partnerships which will be community-led groups to address crime-related matters and will replace Joint Policing Committees. An LCSP can now be established in every local authority in the country and these are to be made up of Gardaí, elected representatives, residents, businesses and state agencies. Maghera Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat Hayes says the number of boots on the ground here is a growing concern.

In this episode, Niall asks: Do you feel safe walking Ireland's streets?Official figures suggest that overall crime rates in Ireland have gone down in recent years. Yet many people say they feel less safe than ever, especially with videos of random assaults and antisocial behaviour spreading quickly on social media. Are we really more at risk — or are we just seeing more of it online?Some callers said they no longer feel safe, blaming groups of teenagers hanging around, filming attacks for views, and knowing there are few real consequences. Others pointed to immigration and claimed certain areas feel more intimidating than they did before.Some still believe Ireland is safe compared to other places, arguing that fear is often amplified by viral clips that do not reflect most people's daily reality. They said using common sense still keeps you safe.Others said the real problem is trust in the system. They argued that soft sentences and a lack of Garda presence make people feel abandoned and fearful, no matter what the statistics say.As Niall points out, this is not just about numbers. It is about whether ordinary people trust that they and their families are safe in the streets where they live.

As summer holiday season gets into full swing and the hunt for the best deals ramps up, FraudSMART is issuing a timely reminder: be vigilant against a seasonal rise in travel scams. FraudSMART, the fraud awareness initiative developed by Banking & Payments Federation Ireland (BPFI), warns that these scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with fraudsters capitalising on the demand for last-minute getaways, particularly touting 'recent cancellations' or 'limited time offers' at heavily discounted rates. Holidaymakers are being lured in with these tempting offers and discounts, often through fake websites, online ads and social media links. To help consumers navigate online travel bookings safely, FraudSMART is urging every holidaymaker to utilise a free tool available on the FraudSMART website: Scamchecker.ie. This essential resource allows you to quickly verify the legitimacy of any website or link before making a booking, acting as your crucial first line of defence against online fraud. FRAUDSMART'S TOP TIPS FOR A SECURE SUMMER: Book Smart: Always use trusted and well-known booking websites or travel agents. Verify before you buy! Before you commit, check the link on Scamchecker.ie. This free tool is your essential safeguard against fake websites and fraudulent offers. Be Wary of Unsolicited Offers: Exercise caution with unsolicited emails or social media ads offering cheap holiday deals. Always verify special offers by visiting the official website of the travel company, rather than clicking on embedded links in an email or advert. Avoid Bank Transfers: Avoid making payments through bank transfers, as these are difficult to trace and recover. Use secure Wi-Fi: Do not use unsecured or public Wi-Fi networks when making payments; switch to 3G/4G on your phone if necessary. Keep Records: Print or save a copy of your order and purchase details. Update Security: Ensure your computer's security is up to date with reliable antivirus and browser software. Protect Your Card: Keep your card in your sights and protect your PIN - never share or write down your PIN details. Niamh Davenport, Head of Financial Crime at BPFI and lead for the FraudSMART campaign, said: "As people across Ireland plan last-minute getaways, fraudsters are working just as hard to take advantage of the holiday rush. These scams can be incredibly convincing and come from multiple sources including fake and copycat websites, convincing online adverts and social media posts. However, once payment is made - often by bank transfer - the so-called agent or website disappears, leaving victims without a booking and out of pocket. Some victims may even receive a fake booking confirmation, only to discover the scam after they have travelled to the destination and find the property doesn't exist when they arrive." Ms Davenport added: "However, there are a number of red flags to look out for, such as being asked to pay by bank transfer or being pressurised to act quickly. Our Scamchecker.ie tool gives consumers a simple, effective, and free way to double-check the legitimacy of a website or link before making a booking. If you pause before you pay, and use Scamchecker.ie, it can be the difference between the holiday of a lifetime or a holiday disaster and significant financial loss." FraudSMART is encouraging holidaymakers to make Scamchecker.ie the first stop before booking any holiday deal online. If you suspect you have been scammed, contact your bank immediately and report the incident to the Gardaí.

No Script, No Mercy, No Spoilers James Gunn says the quiet part out loud about Marvel's mess, Murderbot unravels in episode 6, and we talk Mobland and Flora & Son in our “What We're Watching” segment. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 James Gunn: 9:11 Murderbot: 31:40 What We’re Watching: 41:57 James Gunn Talks Movies Gunn warns the movie industry is “dying” because studios are ditching finished scripts in favor of chasing deadlines. He pointed to Disney's mandate to ramp up Marvel content as destructive: “That wasn't fair…it killed them”. At DC, Gunn enforces a strict “no greenlight without a script” policy — and credits it for successes like Guardians and Peacemaker. His approach: quality over quantity, even if that means fewer, riskier projects.

When Mensah is having a panic attack, Murderbot calms her down by showing her an episode of the show. They manage to repair the hopper using neural fibers from Murderbot’s spinal cord. Meanwhile at the habitat, Leebeebee tries to get more information about the results of the Preservation survey. When Gurathin refuses to show her the data, she produces a gun, shoots him in the knee, and threatens rest of the team. She admits that she is not a member of DeltFall, but of the third party. Murderbot returns and kills Leebeebee immediately, which leaves the Preservation team in shock. While it gets repaired, Murderbot muses that the others had assumed that it was becoming like them, and that it actually felt good to execute Leebeebee.
