34 people died this Saturday 51 years ago after no warning car bombs exploded in Dublin and Monaghan. A year since Taoiseach Michael Martin pledged to release all state files on the atrocity, gardai haven't provided key information to a major investigation into the bombings. Reporter Barry Lenihan tells us more.

The Taoiseach's promising an overhaul of speed checkpoints, following the death of an on-duty Garda. Micheál Martin says more measures are needed to protect Gardai like Kevin Flatley, who was fatally struck by a motorcycle while working yesterday afternoon. The motorcyclist, aged in his 30s, remains in serious condition in Beaumont Hospital. Father of two Kevin Flatley - from Balbriggan in Dublin, is the 90th member of Gardai killed in the line of duty. Commissioner Drew Harris says Garda Flatley's death is devastating... To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Head of Clare/Tipperary Garda Division's Roads Policing Unit, Eddie Golden and Fine Gael Cllr, on Clare County Council's Road Safety Working Group, Tony Mulcahy.

Gardai are actively using a new piece of equipment to test e-bikes and e-scooters at the roadside. Conor Faughnan Transport Commentator tell us more.

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.' Their second chart topper, they were the first US female band to have more than one UK No.1. The song won the trio a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Group. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actress Amber Heard was born in America in 1986 and actor Jack Nicholson was born in America on this day in 1937 and this is some of the stuff he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

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?

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.

In 1981, Nora Sheehan went missing from Ballyphehane, Co Cork. She was found dead a week later, and gardai soon had a prime suspect for her murder while investigating another crime. But a series of setbacks meant no trial was held in the case until 2023. This episode was researched and written by Aileen Spearin.********Find us on Facebook or Twitter!With thanks to our supporters on Patreon!

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!
