Mick has a fascinating in-depth interview with Noel Browne, who spent 41 years as a Garda anti-gang investigator. He tells us the deadly Hutch attack on the Regency Airport Hotel was actually a failure - and the Kinahans' thirst for revenge over it led to their own downfall. Noel also talks to us about other criminals he has faced down in his career - including how he slapped handcuffs on John Gilligan and brought him home on an Air Corps plane to face trial for the murder of crime reporter Veronica Guerin.

The GAA community in Galway and Roscommon is in mourning following the announcement that Don Connellan died on Monday (4th August 2025). The Kilmore native won the Connacht Senior Football Championship as a player with Roscommon in 2001 before making his mark with Maigh Cuilinn. He led the west Galway club to their first-ever Frank Fox Cup (senior football championship) in 2020, beating Mountbellew-Moylough, before repeating the trick against Salthill-Knocknacarra two years later.  They also won the Connacht crown in 2020.  He was Maigh Cuilinn for six seasons between 2018 and 2023. A brother-in-law of former Galway player Paul Clancy, the Kilmore native was a Garda based in Galway for 24 years, and he was also part of the NUIG Galway backroom team that won the Sigerson Cup in 2022. On Galway Talks on Tuesday, Maigh Cuilinn chairperson Sean Houlihan and Galway Bay FM's Jonathan Higgins joined John Morley and Darren Kelly to pay tribute to Don.

The chairperson of the Policing and Community Safety Authority has described as "shocking" a report which shows that a substantial number of gardaí assigned to Roads Policing are not doing their jobs and have no interest in doing them. The Garda Commissioner has promised to publish the Crowe Report which also shows that gardaí who were not carrying out their duties did not care that they were being monitored, and that their managers were not dealing with the problem. Drew Harris called their actions "brazen and contemptuous" and the report's conclusions "sobering". The disturbing details in the report emerged on the day that the gardaí launched another of its road safety campaigns. An independent review of roads policing was launched after a garda whistleblower informed garda headquarters that a substantial number of the gardaí tasked with policing the roads were not doing their jobs. For more on this, Derrick Lynch was joined by Fianna Fáil Cllr Clare Colleran Molloy's who's brother was killed in an accident and Helga Himmelsbach, Ballyvaughan resident, whose husband Jeremiah O'Connor lost his life when his motorcycle collided with the car of a French tourist in July of last year.

He had been dismembered with his body parts deposited into the silage pit on his farm.One such line of inquiry involved Michael Kelley, an American who lived and worked on Gaine's 1,000-acre farm for the past three years.Kelley has identified himself to the media as having been arrested and questioned in relation to Gaine's murder.

Matteo Speroni"Mussolini deve morire"Gigi SperoniDicembre 1944 quando Giovanni Pesce tentò di uccidere il ducePrefazione di Antonio ScuratiPostfazione di Matteo SperoniMimesis Edizioniwww.mimesisedizioni.itDicembre 1944. Milano è una città piegata dai bombardamenti, avvolta dal gelo di un inverno spietato, affamata di pane e di speranza. Il fascismo, ormai agli sgoccioli, si arrocca nell'illusione di un ultimo colpo di coda capace di ribaltare le sorti di un conflitto già deciso. In questo scenario, Mussolini, ormai commissariato dai nazisti, compie un gesto disperato: lascia il rifugio sicuro sul lago di Garda e torna nel cuore della città. La sua apparizione al teatro Lirico, tra una folla sorpresa e smarrita, ha il sapore di un'ultima, vana messinscena. Ma la storia ha già scritto il finale. Il suo colpo di teatro è solo l'ultimo atto prima della fine. Pochi mesi dopo, Hitler si suiciderà nel bunker di Berlino e lui sarà catturato e fucilato a Dongo, nell'aprile del 1945. Eppure, il destino avrebbe potuto prendere un'altra piega. Giovanni Pesce, nome di battaglia “Visone”, comandante dei Gruppi di Azione Patriottica, aveva progettato di colpirlo proprio a Milano, in quei giorni d'inverno. E cosa sarebbe successo se l'attentato fosse riuscito? Questa è la cronaca di un'azione mai compiuta, immersa nel contesto feroce e lacerato in cui maturò: un mondo di spie, doppiogiochisti e traditori, ma anche di uomini e donne pronti a morire per un ideale.Gigi Speroni, scrittore e giornalista, ha fatto parte delle redazioni de “La Notte” e del “Corriere della Sera”. È stato direttore dei programmi Rizzoli Tv, capo ufficio stampa di Rizzoli Libri, direttore dei servizi giornalistici e delle relazioni esterne di EuroTv, coautore con Enzo Tortora (“Portobello” e “Giallo” per Rai2), consulente della Radiotelevisione Svizzera Italiana. Nel 2004 ha ricevuto l'Ambrogino d'Oro.

In the early hours of 7 August 1986, hundreds of Ulster Loyalists, some in paramilitary uniforms, spilled over the border and into the County Monaghan village of Clontibret. A trail of destruction ensued, and Gardaí were attacked with two officers ending up in hospital. The so-called ‘invasion' was led by then DUP Deputy leader Peter Robinson. He was later convicted of unlawful assembly and given a fine. Ian Paisley said Robinson alone was responsible for the incident, Robinson blamed Paisley.

Ennis-based Detective Sergeant Brian Howard believes the new appointee has a job of work to do to restore confidence in management among Clare members.

Gardaí issued just over 900 fixed penalty notices in Dublin in the first six months of the year, with Finglas and Ballymun being the worst offenders. Why is this such a problem?Newstalk's Henry McKean has been investigating, and joins Seán to discuss.

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.
