Anyone wearing a face mask, or any face covering, can be told to remove it once a garda “reasonably suspects” its use is intimidatory or intended to make it easier to commit a crime and avoid detection. Under plans being brought to cabinet today, a person can be arrested and prosecuted if they refuse to remove their face covering. We discussed this further with Christy Galligan, Former Garda Sergeant.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 22ú lá de mí Aibreán, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1988 dhiúltaigh Taoiseach Charles Haughey ar margadh den aontachtaí/náisiúnaí comhroinnt agus iad ag reáchtáil Tuaisceart na hÉireann. I 2005 tháinig Michael Martin amach ag rá nár léigh sé treoir eolais agus na cáipéis ag rá go raibh roinnt de na hathruithe a rinne siad sna tí altranais mídhleathach. I 2003 tharla gabháil drugaí san Aonach Urmhumhan. Tharla sé nuair a stop na nGardaí carr sa bhaile agus gabhadh beirt fhear tar éis. I 2004 bhí a lán post nua I mBuiríos Ó Luigeach de bharr go raibh comhlacht nua ag teacht chuig an chontae. An chéad chéim eile a bhí ann ná gnó déantúsaíocht a bhogadh chuig Buiríos Ó Luigeach. Sin ABBA le Knowing Me Knowing You – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1977. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1989 shroich Madonna uimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena hamhrán Like A Prayer agus d'fhan sé ag uimhir a haon ar feadh 3 seachtain. Bhí sé a seachtú hamhrán a chuaigh chuig barr na cairteacha I Meiriceá agus sa Bhreatain. I 2001 chuaigh Destiny's Child chuig uimhir a haon sna cairteacha sa Bhreatain lena hamhrán Survivor. Bhí sé seo a dara hamhrán a chuaigh chuig uimhir a haon. Bhuaigh an ghrúpa Grammy don amhrán. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Amber Heard I Meiriceá I 1986 agus rugadh aisteoir Jack Nicholson I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1937 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 22nd of April, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1988: Taoiseach charles haughey turned his back on a unionist/nationalist power sharing deal as a means of running northern ireland. 2005: Michael martin admitted yesterday that he didnt read a key briefing document which waas said some nursing home changes were illegal. 2003 One of the biggest drug hauls in the community were uncovered by Nenagh Gardai, it came after Gardai stopped a car in Nenagh town center. Two men were arrested about the find.   2004 - Borrisoleigh experienced a significant increase in job creation following the takeover of the Dublin-based Finches drinks brand. The next phase would be Moving the manufacturing operations to Borrisoleigh  That was ABBA with Knowing Me Knowing You – the biggest song on this day in 1977. Onto music news on this day In 1989 Madonna started a three week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Like A Prayer', the singers seventh US No.1, also a No.1 in the UK. 2001 Destiny's Child went to No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'Survivor.'

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.

In this episode, Niall asks a timely and controversial question: Should it be illegal to film Gardaí while they're on duty? The debate stems from growing calls within the Gardaí for restrictions on the public streaming or recording officers in the line of duty, especially during arrests or public disturbances.Supporters of the proposed restrictions argue that filming Gardaí without context can endanger officers, escalate already tense situations, and expose them to online abuse. They believe that if someone has a legitimate concern about police conduct, it should be handled through official channels—not social media.However, others say the right to film Gardaí is vital for public accountability. With the rise in high-profile incidents involving law enforcement, being able to record interactions serves as a crucial check and balance. For these callers, transparency and the ability to document what happens in public spaces should not be curtailed.Some callers argue that it's about time filming Gardaí was restricted. Officers deserve to do their jobs without being harassed or put on display online. They believe the constant presence of phones creates fear, makes Gardaí hesitant to act, and opens the door to online mobs targeting individuals for simply doing their job.While other callers insist the public must retain the right to film Gardaí, especially when it involves use of force or questionable actions. They see mobile footage as a form of protection—for both citizens and officers—and a vital tool for transparency and justice.Niall wraps up by noting how the conversation reflected a deep divide between public accountability and Garda privacy. He acknowledges both the concerns of officers on the ground and the need for transparency in modern policing. As trust in institutions evolves, he asks: is filming a necessary watchdog—or a dangerous distraction?

Paul Reynolds, Crime Correspondent RTÉ from the AGSI conference in Killarney.

On this episode we debated whether laws need to be enacted to protect Gardaí from harassment from so-called Citizen Journalists. Gardai are concerned that they're exposed to abuse on social media - which also puts their families in danger.

Gardai patrolling the streets in Dublin have been told to get tough on crime. A new policy of increased Garda visibility has been introduced in the capital in recent weeks with a focus on tackling anti-social behaviour, drug dealing, aggressive begging, thefts and shoplifting.Foot patrols will be concentrated on O'Connell St, Henry St, Talbot St and Bachelor Quay in particular. But is the new policing policy a short term measure or will it be permanent? And will it make a difference?Our Chief Reporter Barry Whyte has been finding out…

He talks to me about that extraordinary case, along with the current challenges of running pubs in Ireland and securing insurance against Covid lockdowns just weeks before the pandemic hit here.We also discuss the rising price of a pint and taking on Guinness in the stout market, and why he feels Dublin city centre needs an extra 1000 Gardai on the street to counter anti-social behaviour.Produced by John Casey with JJ Vernon on sound.

Gardai have launched a crackdown on illegal hunting due to rising concerns over hare ‘lamping' and ‘baiting' of foxes and badgers. There are fears that gangs from cities are travelling to rural parts of the country to set up illegal hunting rings including the use of ‘blooded' dogs to hunt rabbits, badgers and foxes.

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.
