On an otherwise quiet Wednesday in the village of Abbeylara, County Longford, in April 2000, a man by the name of John Carthy was agitated, pacing his childhood home. Shouting through the window, his cries were barely audible at times over increasing howls of wind. He was armed with a double-barrelled shotgun, which had already been discharged numerous times in the direction of the Gardaí who surrounded the house. By the time Holy Thursday evening arrived, John Carthy would be dead. Mr Carthy, who suffered from bipolar depression and had spent several periods in psychiatric care, fired 30 shots from his home as negotiators tried to mediate with him. The Abbeylara siege, which lasted 25 hours, resulted in Gardai from the ERU discharging four bullets by two separate officers. A judicial inquiry chaired by Mr Justice Robert Barr published a damning report on the Abbeylara siege in 2006. It criticised major shortcomings in the Garda operation, stating that scene commanders had "little training" and "no practical experience" of an armed siege situation.

Bean a gabhadh maidir le dúnmharú Kyran Durnin scaoilte saor. A woman in her twenties who was arrested by the Gardai yesterday in relation to the murder of Kyran Durnin, the young boy who has been missing in Co Louth for two and a half years, has been released without charge. Scaoilte saor gan aon chúis curtha ina leith tá bean sna fichidí a ghabh na Gardaí inné maidir le dúnmharú Kyran Durnin, an buachaill óg atá ar iarraidh i gCo Lú le dhá bhliain go leith. Kyran was six years old when he was last seen in May 2022. Bhí Kyran sé bliana d'aois nuair a chonacthas go deireanach é i mí na Bealtaine 2022. However, it was not until August of this year that he was reported missing to the Gardaí. Ní go dtí mí Lúnasa na bliana seo, áfach, a cuireadh in iúl do na Gardaí go raibh sé ar iarraidh. The woman who was being questioned by the Gardaí, she was abroad for a while but she was arrested in Ireland yesterday. An bhean a bhí á ceisitú ag na Gardaí, bhí sí thar lear ar feadh tamaill ach is in Éirnn a gabhadh í inné. It is understood gardaí have previously spoken to the woman as part of their murder investigation. Tuigtear gur labhair na Gardaí leis an mbean roimhe seo mar chuid dá bhfiosrúchán dúnmharaithe. On August 30 this year, Gardaí were informed that Kyran Durnin had last been seen in Drogheda two days earlier. Ar an 30 Lúnasa i mbliana, cuireadh in iúl do na Gardaí go bhfacthas Kyran Durnin go deireanach i nDroichead Átha dhá lá roimhe sin. After they immediately started searching for him, they found no sign or description of him. Tar éis go ndeachaigh siad i mbun a chuardaigh láithreach, tásc ná tuairisc ní bhfuair siad air. On October 16, the Gardaí publicly announced that they believed the boy had actually been last seen two years ago and said they believed he had been murdered. Ar an 16 Deireadh Fómhair, d'fhógair na Gardaí go poilbí go raibh siad den bharúil gur dhá bhliain ó shin a chonacthas an buachaill go deireanach i ndáiríre agus dúirt gur chreid siad gurbh amhlaidh a dúnmharaíodh é. The Child and Family Agency, Tusla, has been involved in the matter since it emerged that they had contact with Kyran Durnin and his family in the past. Bainteach leis an scéal tá an Ghníomhaireacht um Leanaí agus an Teaghlach, Tusla, ó tháinig sé chun solais go raibh teagmháil acu le Kyran Durnin agus lena theaghlach san am a caitheadh. Tusla also confirmed that they informed the Gardai in early August that they were very concerned about the boy. Dhearbhaigh Tusla freisin gur chuir siad in iúl do na Gardaí i dtús Lúnasa go raibh imní mhór orthu faoin mbuachaill. RTÉ News and Current Affairs Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ

Bean gafa lena ceistiú maidir le dúnmharú Kyran Durnin. A woman has been arrested for questioning in relation to the murder of Kyran Durnin, the 8-year-old boy who went missing. Tá bean gafa lena ceisitú maidir le dúnmharú Kyran Durnin, an buachaill 8 mbliana d'aois a chuaig ar iarraidh. The boy was reported missing in August this year, but gardaí believe he may have been killed two years ago. Tuairiscíodh an buachaill bheith ar iarraidh mí Lúnasa i mbliana, ach creideann Gardaí gur féidir gur maraíodh dhá bhliain ó sin é. He was last seen alive in May 2022 when he was 6 years old and a pupil at a local primary school in Dundalk. Bealtaine 2022 an uair dheireanach a chonacthas beo é nuair a bhí sé 6 bhliana d'aois agus ina dhalta ag bunscoil áitiúil i nDún Dealgan. He had been living in a house in Dundalk for several years, and Gardai searched that house in October. Bhí sé ina chónaí i dteach i nDún Dealgan ar feadh roinnt blianta, agus chuardaigh Gardaí an teach sin mí Dheireadh Fómhair. The Gardai confirmed that the people who were living in the house at the time had nothing to do with the boy or anything related to him. Dhearbhaigh na Gardaí nach raibh baint ná páirt ag na daoine a bhí ina gcónaí sa teach an t-am sin leis an mbuachaill ná lenar bhain dó. It is understood that the person arrested today is a woman in her twenties, and that she is being questioned in a station in the north-east of the country, under section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act. Tuigtear gur bean sna fichidí í an té a gabhadh inniu, agus go bhfuil sí á ceistiú i stáisiún in oirthuaisceart na tíre, faoi alt 4 den Acht um an Ceartas Coiriúil. She can be questioned for 24 hours. Is féidir í a cheistiú ar feadh 24 uair. Gardai are still appealing for anyone with information about Kyran's murder to contact them, no matter how small. Tá na Gardaí fós ag iarraidh ar aon duine a bhfuil eolas acu faoi dhúnmharú Kyran, dul i dteagmháil leo, cuma cé chomh beag is atá an t-eolas sin. Tusla, the Children and Family Agency are also reviewing the case. Tá Tusla, an Ghníomhaireacht um Leanaí agus an Teaghlach i mbun athbhreithniú ar an gcás freisin.

This week, An Garda Síochána have made an unprecedented move by releasing nearly 100 images to the public, to try and identify those suspected of committing crimes during the Dublin Riots. The images released have already helped to identify multiple suspects, but it hasn't come without controversy, with many questioning the morality and legality of such a bold move. Does it set a worrying precedent for Irish policing, or was it indeed justified? Host: Fionnán Sheahan, Guests; Robin Schiller and Carlo Salizzo See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In advance of International Fraud Awareness Week, research commissioned by the Bank of Ireland has shown that 90% of the population believes fraud is a big problem in Irish society, with fake online purchase scams being the most common way for consumers to lose money. One-third of those surveyed said they had been targeted by a fraudulent advert on a social media platform. When these respondents were asked to identify the platform, 65% identified Facebook, 28% identified Instagram, with X at 13%, TikTok at 11%, and Snapchat at 4%. In addition, almost half (47%) of citizens aged 18+ have seen adverts for investments or cryptocurrency on a social media platform featuring a well-known personality, politician or musician. The impersonation of well-known people and media organisations is a tactic used regularly in fraudulent ads to trick consumers into fake crypto investments, bond purchases, or savings products. This can include impersonation of individuals such as President Michael D. Higgins, An Taoiseach Simon Harris, An Tánaiste Micheal Martin, former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, Denis O'Brien, Dáithí Ó Sé, Brian Dowling and Tommy Tiernan. Adverts can also include links to fake websites impersonating RTE, the Irish Independent, Forbes, The Irish News, BBC News, the Irish Mirror, and many others. Nicola Sadlier, Head of Fraud, Bank of Ireland, said: "Fraudulent adverts are a blight on social media platforms. These adverts are all about one thing - the theft of money from consumers and businesses by criminals. They cause harm to people, the financial services system, and the economy. "Much more needs to be done. One common sense step would be to ensure that online platforms check that adverts are from companies that are regulated to sell financial products and services. The current approach, which is allowing fraudsters run fake ads that impersonate celebrities, politicians, and legitimate media organisations - all with the aim of stealing money - is clearly broken. "That's why Bank of Ireland is calling for legislative change at European Union level so that online platforms will have to verify that advertisers of financial services are regulated to sell those services." Findings from the Red C poll among the Irish general public include: Fake advertisements were most commonly seen on Facebook and Instagram followed by Twitter/X (13%), TikTok (11%) and Snapchat (4%). The majority of people (66%) report fraud to their bank, followed by the Gardai (17%) When asked to select all parties they believe are responsible for protecting people from fraud in Ireland, 66% selected Banks and Financial Services companies, along with the Gardai (51%), mobile phone (39%) and social media companies (39%). 60% of the population believe they themselves have a role. The research was conducted as part of an ongoing campaign to raise awareness among Bank of Ireland customers and the general public around the danger of fraud to their personal finances and how to safeguard against the main causes of fraud.

RE-RELEASED WITHOUT BACKGROUND MUSIC.What really happened to Jo Jo Dullard on that fateful night in 1995? Join us as we retrace the chilling story of her disappearance and reveal the latest developments in the case. Born in Cuffsgrange, Kilkenny, Jo Jo was known for her strong spirit and kind heart. But when she missed the last bus from Dublin to Kilkenny but after getting a bus to Naas, Co Kildare she made the fateful decision to hitchhike home. The last known sighting of her was at a phone box in Moone, County Kildare, where she called her friend Mary and spoke of being offered a lift. Little did she know, it would be the last conversation she ever had. As we delve into the 27 years of heartache that followed Jo Jo's disappearance, we discuss the countless search efforts, what the witnesses said they saw and a slew of rumours and suspects that emerged over the years. From potential leads involving a solicitor in Dublin to a witness claiming to have seen a woman hitching in Castledermot, we discuss what Jojo did that day in the lead up to her disappearance and the extensive search efforts by the Gardai that ultimately yielded no results. In this gripping episode, we also explore the new investigation led by Superintendent Martin Walker and the hope that Jo Jo's family holds onto as they wait for the truth to finally come to light.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ireland-crimes-and-mysteries--5973961/support.

Brian O'Connell, RTÉ Reporter

What links an Australian app designer, a global police sting and this week's drugs bust in Wexford? A Dublin gang known as 'The Family.' Gardai say the group is now the primary drug trafficking cartel in Ireland after the Kinahan's network was dismantled. It's alleged to be involved in the multi million euro seizure of guns and cash in Dublin and Wexford earlier this week. The tip off came via Australian authorities which had infiltrated the Ghost messaging app. The encrypted software created by 32 year old Sydney man, Jay Je Yoon Jung, was the platform of choice for much of the Irish criminal fraternity. Security and Crime Editor Conor Lally explains how the Australians hacked into the app, how it was used in Ireland and analyses how gangs here might react.Presented by Aideen Finnegan.

In the middle of the night on the 13th May, 2000, a flat in Ballymun was set alight. Inside, the body of Derek Benson was found. But his cause of death had nothing to do with the inferno in his bedroom. He had been brutally killed with a blade. The garda investigation into his murder would not only identify his killers, but a litany of abuse and violence that would continue long after the trial had concluded.This episode was researched and written by Aileen Spearin.********Find us on Facebook or Twitter!With thanks to our supporters on Patreon!
