The drugs didn't belong to him… and now, the dealer wants them back — or €2,000 in cash.Faced with the terrifying threat of violence, the mother is torn: should she take out a credit union loan to bail her son out, or report everything to the Gardaí and risk things getting worse?Listeners call in with their takes:

During this week's Garda Focus, we heard that Gardaí in Shannon are investigating a burglary that occurred at a public house and off-licence in Drumgeeley, Shannon in the early hours of last Saturday morning, the 19th of July. At 3:50am on that date, a person dressed in a grey hoodie damaged the front door of the premises and when they were disturbed, they fled the scene. Gardaí are appealing to anyone that may have observed this person or any persons near the public house and off-licence in the early hours of last Saturday morning to contact Shannon Garda Station on 061-365900. The premises in question was the Carry Out Off-Licence. They posted on social media: “Break-ins, hold ups, assaults, we've had them all. Latest version around 3:50am this morning. If anyone has any information, can you please contact Shannon Gardaí.” Alan Morrissey spoke with Jim Moran, the owner of Carry Out Off-Licence in Drumgeeley, and began by asking him to explain what happened during the latest incident.

Clare's Crime Prevention Officer is urging farmers to ensure livestock, vehicles, machinery and equipment are safely secured, to prevent against a devastating loss of assets. Sergeant Catriona Holohan is advising that in many cases, taking simple precautionary measures can have a hugely positive impact on the safety of your farm. She says it's not all about high-end security equipment, but changes to the way things are run, and that there are several areas that can be easily overlooked which could reduce the risk of land being targeted. Sergeant Holohan, who's based at the Crime Prevention Office in Ennis, outlines some of the ways you can protect your farm from theft.

An inquest doesn't typically hear questions about the consummation of a relationship or the validity of a marriage certificate, and it's not usual for there to be so many lawyers in a coroner's court. But when there's a farm, valued at €5.5 million at stake, and the circumstances around the death are somewhat confused, it's perhaps to be expected.The three-day inquest into the death of wealthy farmer Joe Grogan (75) at his home on April 15th, 2023 heard questions that a coroner's court is not there to answer. Its job is to establish cause of death.Grogan had been married the previous day, to his long-time friend and sometime carer Lisa Flaherty. A clear cause of death could not be established because he had been embalmed within hours.His 220-acre farm at Screggan, near Tullamore is well-known having hosted the National Ploughing Championships for two years and is set to do so again this year. As his widow, Flaherty stands to inherit his estate.Members of Grogan's family questioned the validity of the marriage – they said they were unaware it had taken place – and there were heated scenes in the court.Ultimately the coroner Raymond Mahon ruled that the newly-wed farmer probably died of an infection associated with his stage-four cancer, his immune system being compromised because of chemotherapy and significant weight loss. He said the evidence did not support a finding of unlawful killing as had been suggested and he rejected calls by Grogan's extended family to refer the circumstances of the death to the Garda.Irish Times reporter Colm Keena was in court to hear the verdict and explains the background.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

The Diocese of Galway has confirmed that the remains of the late Bishop Dr Eamonn Casey have been moved from the cathedral crypt in Galway City. Eamonn Casey, who was also Bishop of Kerry, died in 2017. Last year a TV documentary revealed there were four allegations of child sexual abuse made against him. There were never any criminal charges brought against him. Gardaí said at the weekend that there would be no reopening of a criminal investigation. Jerry spoke to Fr. Patsy Lynch, parish priest Ballinskelligs and Prior, who was ordained by Bishop Casey.

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.

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.
