Sean Canney, Junior Transport Minister, discusses possible next moves for Government around the regulation or banning of e-scooters.

Gardaí say they want to "eradicate" public day drinking from Ennis's town centre. An initiative introduced in recent months to combat a rise in anti-social behaviour on O'Connell Street and adjacent routes has resulted in court orders being served to three different individuals. These will effectively prohibit perpetrators from being present on these streets for a period of one year. Ennis-based Community Policing Sergeant Dominic Regan says they want everyone to feel safe and comfortable in the area.

The leaders of Ireland's political parties will meet Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly to discuss an outright ban on e-scooters. It comes as Amazon and other major retailers have begun pulling illegally fast e-scooters from sale in Ireland. Speaking to Jonathan was Niall Hodgins, President of the Garda Representative Association.

Harry McGee and Cormac McQuinn join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:The Government's report into Aughinish Alumina is expected to say that material produced there may or may not have been used in Russia's war machine, citing a lack of evidence either way. Half of the alumina produced in the plant in the first quarter of this year went to Russia, up from 43 per cent last year. Will the Limerick plant's days be numbered eventually?The calls to ban e-scooters grew louder this week with Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly saying society would be “better off” without them. On Tuesday Taoiseach Micheál Martin said he is “leaning towards” a total ban on e-scooters as the Dáil discussed the issue following incidents resulting in deaths and serious injuries. The high cost of deportation flights was laid out in figures supplied by the Department of Justice to the Public Accounts Committee. They showed that the State paid more than €1 million for a single deportation flight when returning 42 adults and children from Ireland to South Africa in June.Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan shows no sign of backing down in the row over legal aid solicitor fees. Now more than 100 solicitors have made it known that they intend to resign from the criminal legal aid panel, with solicitors continuing to refuse to provide advice to suspects detained for questioning in Garda stations.And it is goodbye to Keir Starmer as the UK prime minister defended his record and offered his support to Andy Burnham who succeeds him as Labour party leader.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

The body of Jamey Carney, a 43-year-old mother-of-one, was found by her teenage daughter at their home in Killarney last week. The American woman had suffered head injuries and a postmortem confirmed she had died a violent death by suffocation. Gardai traced her partner, Ahmed Al Saqar's, movements immediately after the killing and found that he left Ireland hours after she was killed, flying to Turkey having taken the night bus from Kerry. He then travelled on to Jordan where he was arrested and is in custody. It is thought the 28-year-old had been in Ireland for two years and had sought asylum before fleeing back to Jordan after the murder. The investigation is a full-scale murder inquiry. Gardaí did not seek Al Saqar's arrest in his home country, so why was he detained? How long can he be held by Jordanian authorities before he must be released? Ireland and Jordan do not have an extradition treaty so how can Al Saqar be brought back to Ireland? And when?Irish Times crime and security editor Conor Lally explains the complex road ahead in this investigation. Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan. Hosted on Acast.

A new law has come into effect making the offering of sex in exchange for rent a criminal offence in Ireland.  Campaigners have welcomed the legislation as a major step forward in protecting vulnerable people, particularly women who may be at risk of exploitation while searching for accommodation.   However, many say the work doesn't end there, with calls for greater public awareness, Garda training and stronger enforcement of the new law.   To discuss what this legislation means and why it's so significant, Alan Morrissey was joined by Bridget Barron, President of Ennis & District Soroptimists, and Aisling Nolan, National Communications Officer with Soroptimist Ireland.

A Dublin City Councillor has gone on Fox News and told Americans “don't come to Ireland… it's not safe” — and it's sparked a massive row. Adrian and Jeremy tear into Gavin Pepper's comments, the Jamie Carney murder investigation, and the controversy over Gardaí not releasing a “person of interest” photo. Is Ireland actually unsafe… or is this just anti-immigration politics and social media fear-mongering?

Gardaí in Clare are reminding people that everyone has a role to play in keeping animals, land and communities safe during the heatwave. People are being urged to stay hydrated, avoid the hottest part of the day between 11am and 3pm, and never leave children, older people or pets in parked cars. Animal owners are advised to provide plenty of fresh water and shade and not to transport animals during the hottest part of the day, while motorists are also being reminded not to block access for emergency services at beaches and lakes. Sergeant Edel Bourke is also reminding people that, with an Orange Fire Risk Warning in place, they should avoid lighting fires or barbecues in high-risk areas.

Gardaí believe a man detained in Jordan is Ahmad Al Saqar. The boyfriend of murdered American woman Jamey Carney, and the prime suspect in her killing. No arrest request has been made by Irish authorities, who say the murder investigation is still at an early stage. We get the latest on this with Irish Times Crime and Security Editor, Conor Lally .

This episode was originally published in March 2026. Clifton Collins (55) had a thriving business growing cannabis in rented houses around the country.The Crumlin man and expert beekeeper was known for his award-winning honey but his real earner was the fortune he made from years of dealing drugs.He operated under the radar so when gardaí came across him parked in the Wicklow Mountains one night, they had no idea their search would eventually result in of the most lucrative seizures in the history of the Criminal Assets Bureau.Collins had amassed 6,000 bitcoin around 2010. The problem for the Garda was they didn't know the code to unlock the wallets; it was, Collins said, lost.His bitcoin stash had by 2026 rocketed in value to €360 million.Seven years after gardaí seized the wallets they have finally been able to open one of them and have released €30 million. There are 11 more wallets to be opened.Irish Times crime and security editor Conor Lally explains the background to this extraordinary case.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan.

It's hoped newly planned security measures for Shannon Airport can free up Garda availability across Clare. The Clare base received €1.9m in funding earlier this year, with much of this due to go towards the construction of an Airfield Security Perimeter fence. There have been five alleged incursions by activists since March 2024 and the Airport is now also planning to install high security anti-ram barriers to prevent vehicles from entering. Cratloe Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat O'Gorman says the incidents have affected Garda resources in the past.

In it, they made explosive comments about the Irish public, praised foreign nationals as being "far nicer to deal with," and said they "hate dealing with" Irish people.

For the six men and one woman trafficked to Donegal by Georgijs Poniza and Armen Pogosyan, life was unimaginably harsh.They worked long, gruelling hours, lived together in dire conditions, rummaging in public bins for food and walking up to 30km to get to work. When they stepped out of line they were subject to abuse including physical violence.]In the nearly three years they spent in modern slavery in Ireland, the seven victims, all Latvians, earned about €750,000 but as their bank accounts were controlled, they saw a tiny fraction of that.This month in a first conviction of its kind in the State, Poniza and Pogosyan, who were long-time residents in Ireland, were jailed for a total of 24 years for human trafficking for the purpose of labour exploitation.So how did the operation work? Why in a small community in Donegal did no one notice anything? And how were the traffickers caught?Chris McNulty, a journalist with Donegal Daily, has been following the case and was in court for the sentencing.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

American businessman Jason Cardiff has lived in Ireland with his wife and daughter since 2022.For anyone who has followed him on Facebook, he has been living a life of considerable luxury. The house is on Highfield Road, one of Dublin 6's most expensive roads, and parked outside is a Bentley.His followers have seen posts showing him golfing in Ireland, travelling to Austria for ski trips as well as attending the local church fete in June.But last week his past came back to haunt him when at 8am he was arrested at home and brought to the High Court. The move by the Garda was on foot of extradition proceedings instigated by the US Department of Justice, which has charged him with fraud involving a homeopathic medicine company, identity theft and witness tampering. He denies all charges.So what are the charges? Why did Cardiff and his family leave the US? How did he get an Irish passport? And why does did he expect the Trump administration to come to his rescue?Mark Tighe, Irish Times senior investigative reporter, talked to Cardiff in the days before his arrest.Presented by Bernice Harrison.
