It's time for our regular update from across the Garda districts, and joining me is Sgt Aisling Ferriter.

Garda update with Sgt Eddie Wilde, who joins us with news from across the districts. This morning, we hear about a national drop in burglaries—but why vigilance is still key.

Deputy Brian Brennan joins us to discuss a major boost in health funding for Wexford. With €15 million allocated to Wexford General Hospital, €2.5 million set aside for a new MRI unit, and significant upgrades planned for Gorey, this investment promises to greatly improve healthcare access and services for local communities.

You're familiar with Edward Gorey, whether you know it or not. The prolific author and illustrator, who was born 100 years ago this week, was ubiquitous for a time in the 1970s and 1980s, and his elaborate black-and-white line drawings — often depicting delightfully grim neo-Victorian themes and settings — graced everything from book jackets to the opening credits of the PBS show “Mystery!” to his own eccentric storybooks like “The Gashlycrumb Tinies,” in which young children come to unfortunate but spectacular ends.On this week's episode, the Book Review's Sadie Stein joins Gilbert Cruz for a celebration of all things Gorey.“He was so incredibly prolific,” Stein says. “He was Joyce Carol Oates-like in his output. And it's amazing when you look at the work because the line drawings, as you mentioned, are so intricate. It looks almost like pointillism sometimes, like it would have taken hundreds of hours. But he was either preternaturally disciplined or incredibly fast, and each one that I've ever seen at least is beautiful. And complete in a way.” Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture. Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Paula Roche, CEO at County Wexford Chamber, said the new gift card will enable even more money to be retained in Wexford: "The paper Shop Local Vouchers had lots of support and were a fantastic way for us to keep spend in the county, particularly from organisations buying the vouchers for their staff. The new Shop Local Gift Card is all about upping the convenience for all involved so when people are earning in County Wexford, we can make it even easier for them to spend that money locally. "The feedback we had was that people want a digital gift card. For most people, their wallet is their phone, and being able to add the e-card version of the County Wexford Shop Local Gift Card into their digital wallet and pay with it will be a huge step forward for our county. "Our mission is to present the best of the county in one gift card - from our amazing hotels and restaurants to our unique shops and pubs - so we can showcase County Wexford for locals and visitors alike."

This week I'm taking you behind the scenes of London Fashion Week. I'm sharing the shows I attended and talking about the hair and beauty moments that the amazing teams created backstage.

On this week's episode we sit down with Tony O'Reilly, otherwise known as Tony 10. Tony 10 was the online betting username of Tony O'Reilly, the postman who became front-page news in 2011 after he stole €1.75 million from An Post while he was a branch manager in Gorey, Co. Wexford. He used the money to fund a gambling addiction that began with a bet of €1 and eventually rose to €10 million, leading to the loss of his job, his family, his home – and winning him a prison sentence. Honestly, this book reads like a thriller. The Astonishing Story of the Postman who Gambled €10,000,000 … and lost it all, and has since turned it all around and helps bring awareness to gambling harm.
