The body of Jamey Carney, a 43-year-old mother-of-one, was found by her teenage daughter at their home in Killarney last week. The American woman had suffered head injuries and a postmortem confirmed she had died a violent death by suffocation. Gardai traced her partner, Ahmed Al Saqar's, movements immediately after the killing and found that he left Ireland hours after she was killed, flying to Turkey having taken the night bus from Kerry. He then travelled on to Jordan where he was arrested and is in custody. It is thought the 28-year-old had been in Ireland for two years and had sought asylum before fleeing back to Jordan after the murder. The investigation is a full-scale murder inquiry. Gardaí did not seek Al Saqar's arrest in his home country, so why was he detained? How long can he be held by Jordanian authorities before he must be released? Ireland and Jordan do not have an extradition treaty so how can Al Saqar be brought back to Ireland? And when?Irish Times crime and security editor Conor Lally explains the complex road ahead in this investigation. Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan. Hosted on Acast.

The boyfriend of murdered American mother-of-one Jamey Carney has been detained in Jordan, the Irish Independent understands. Ahmad al-Saqar is a person of interest to the garda investigation into the murder of Ms Carney. The dramatic development came as gardai have made rapid progress in their murder probe with significant forensic, CCTV and witness evidence obtained. Sources indicated that the 28 year old man has been detained in Jordan over the past 48 hours. Ireland does not have an extradition treaty with Jordan and no Irish arrest warrant has been issued in respect of the Killarney murder as yet. The detention was made by Jordan's Public Security Directorate. The whereabouts of Ahmad Al-Samar, had been unknown. He is “a person of interest” for gardaí as he spent time with Ms Carney between July 4-6. Gardai now believe the Jordanian was with Ms Carney on Monday evening, the night she was fatally assaulted.

Gardai have set up “incident rooms” around the country to hunt down anyone who broke the law during the recent fuel blockades — and it has people raging.Adrian and Jeremy go head-to-head on the big question: should the Gardaí be tracking down truckers, farmers and protesters after the fact… or is it a massive waste of resources that'll only rile people up again?Callers are split. Some say “the law is the law” and want prosecutions to set a precedent. Others argue the protests helped bring fuel prices down and that going after people now is political policing.And as always… it gets heated.

Although all elected members unanimously supported an emergency motion seeking enhanced cost of living supports, there were divided opinions over the coalitions response to the oil shock, with Fine Gael Councillor Pat Burke coming out in favour of government efforts. Calls were also made for further cuts to Green Diesel and for more transparency surrounding prices charged at filling stations.

The government circular has indicated that all byelaws are brought to the Elected Members for adoption by 30th October 2026 with an implementation date of 31st March 2027.

A Garda has been hit with a two-year driving ban after a judge ruled his attempt to chase two illegal scrambler bikes amounted to dangerous driving — mounting kerbs, flying down a busy road, and all in the middle of heavy traffic and kids heading to school.So should Gardaí be allowed to chase scramblers and e-scooters, or is it just too risky for the public?The debate explodes. Some callers say the judge has handed “scrotes” a green light and the guard should get a medal… others insist rules are rules, and a patrol car can't become a weapon.

//The Wire//2300Z October 21, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: JAPAN ELECTS NEW PRIME MINISTER. DISSENT IN IRELAND AS HIGH-PROFILE MIGRANT CRIME STRIKES DUBLIN.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Japan: Last night Sanae Takaichi was selected to be Japan's first female PM following the striking of a new coalition deal in Parliament.Analyst Comment: Things might get rather interesting in Japan as Takaichi is the most politically conservative PM (by Japanese standards) that Japan has had since Shinzo Abe. Japanese internal politics is often strange to observe from a western perspective, however this election does signal a desire to shift to the political right for the Japanese.Ireland: Authorities are allegedly investigating the assault of a child at a migrant center in Dublin. A 10-year-old girl was found on the grounds of the Citywest Hotel in Dublin after being assaulted by an African migrant. The migrant in question had an active deportation order since March, but had not been deported. Following the revelation of this story, locals protested outside this migrant facility this afternoon. These protests rapidly turned into a riot, and at least one police vehicle was set on fire outside the facility.-HomeFront-Georgia: Yesterday a man was arrested after threatening to conduct a small arms attack at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta. Billy Cagle was arrested after he livestreamed his attack plans on social media, before traveling to the airport to conduct the attack. His family members saw the livestream and notified law enforcement immediately, which led to his arrest in the South Terminal before he was able to conduct the attack.Analyst Comment: This appears to be more of a mental illness situation rather than the standard terror attack. Granted, bullets don't discriminate so in the heat of the moment this was still a very clear and present danger regardless. He was detained at the scene with a rifle in his vehicle, so his threats were probably not idle.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Regarding the situation in Ireland, anytime Irish authorities are this forthcoming with details involving migrant crime, the situation is very serious. This migrant center has been turned into permanent housing for migrants (to the tune of €148 million), and has been the source of scandal following months of locals being terrorized by the inhabitants of this hotel. This facility is also under the protection of the Gardai, as this housing center has been the target of protests by ethnic Irishmen. This has led many to question how a migrant was able to kidnap a child and drag her to the facility, which was being protected by private security guards as well as police. Considering the gravity of the situation at hand, this might be yet the latest catalyst in keeping tensions hot in Ireland.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

The unsolved murders of Phyllis Murphy, Patricia Furlong, Angie Smith, Inga Hauser, and Patricia Doherty span over a decade of heartbreak and mystery across Ireland and Northern Ireland. Each woman vanished under everyday circumstances—waiting for a bus, leaving a pub, walking home from a concert, arriving in a new country, or shopping for Christmas gifts—only to be found brutally murdered in remote locations. Despite witness accounts, forensic evidence, and public appeals, justice has remained elusive in most of these cases, leaving families and communities grappling with grief and unanswered questions. Their stories endure as chilling reminders of lives stolen and the urgent need for resolution. If you have any information about these cases, please contact the Gardai at 1800 666 111, you can leave an anonymous tip.
