Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 9ú lá de mí an Mheithimh, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1978 tháinig an nuacht amach go bheir an airm agus na gardaí ar drong a ghoid 400 mhíle punt ó veain I Luimneach agus beir siad orthu ó eangach. I 2000 tháinig sé amach go raibh rátaí iasacht tithíochta ag dul suas ach go mbeadh an praghas de thí ag laghdú don chéad uair I 5 bhliain. I 1989 bhí 9 iarrthóirí ón chontae san olltoghchán an Déardaoin seo chugainn. I 2000 bhí an bord sláinte san Iarthar Láir chúisithe de bharr gur chuir siad strus ar clann sa chontae nach raibh ábalta na seandaoine sa chlann a cur I dteach altranais. Sin Jason Donovan le Sealed With A Kiss – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1989. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1990 shroich Wilson Phillips uimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena hamhrán Hold On. Agus 25 bhliain roimhe chuaigh a athair chuig uimhir a haon lena hamhrán Help Me Rhonda. I 2007 bhí George Michael an chéad duine chun ceolchoirm a bheith acu ag an stad nua Wembley I Londain agus bhí dhá cheolchoirm aige ar a turas 25 Live Tour. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Michael J Fox I gCeanada I 1961 agus rugadh aisteoir Johnny Depp I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1963 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 9th of June, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1978: An armed gang who got away with £400,000 from a security van in west Limerick slipped through the huge army and garda dragnet combing 3 counties for them. 2000: home loan rates were going up but housing prices were starting to fall for the first time in 5 years. 1989: 9 candidates were to face the clare electorate in next thursdays general elections. 2000: the midwestern health board was accused of causing enormous stress to clare families who couldnt pay for the cost of keeping elderly relatives in private nursing homes. That was Jason Donovan with Sealed With A Kiss – the biggest song on this day in 1989 Onto music news on this day In 1990 Wilson Phillips went to No.1 on the US with 'Hold On'. 25 years earlier to the day Wendy and Carnies father Beach Boy Brian Wilson had been at No.1 with 'Help Me Rhonda'. 2007 George Michael became the first music artist to perform at the new Wembley Stadium in London when he played the first of two shows at the venue during his '25 Live Tour'. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Michael J Fox was born in Canada in 1961 and actor Johnny Depp was born in America on this day in 1963 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.

The park has been adorned with detailed wooden carvings of owls, foxes, rabbits, a bumblebee, and a fairy house made by Limerick sculptor Will Fogarty. The idea was floated as an environmentally sustainable solution to the removal of rotten trees which began to pose a health and safety risk.

In the early hours of May 8th, two masked men in a stolen Audi staged a drive-by shooting, firing nine shots indiscriminately at houses on Limerick's Hyde Road, including at April Collins's home. More shots were fired at a Collins-owned home on the Hyde Road in November 2024, and in two separate attacks in January 2025. Since then, there have been a dozen violent incidents, including pipe and petrol bomb attacks. The Garda Emergency Response Unit now conducts nightly armed checkpoints in flashpoint areas. The gangs appear undeterred.Between February and April, the Cork-based bomb disposal unit was deployed on multiple occasions to deal with pipe bombs seized in Limerick's criminal strongholds.In 2012 there was hope that the violent territorial feud between the city's key drug suppliers, the McCarthy-Dundon gang and the Keane-Collopy gang had been calmed, particularly with the jailing of key members of the Dundon family. April Collins's evidence sealed the case for the State. She moved away from Hyde Road following the court case but in late 2023 she moved back and tit-for-tat attacks ensued.And what of the new generation street criminals? Some are so young they were not even born when the original feud was in at its peak, but their actions show those gang lines that were drawn still exist: that the feud has never gone away.Brian Carroll tells In the News about the resurgence in drug-related gang violence in Limerick.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Declan Conlon and Suzanne Brennan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Timestamp to get straight to the case: (5:38) In 2008, Irish man Jason Corbett placed an ad for an au-pair to assist him in raising his two young children Sarah and Jack. Jason's first wife Margaret had passed suddenly in 2006, leaving him widowed with two small children. American woman Molly Martens answered the ad. She moved from her Tennessee home to Limerick, Ireland to live with the Corbett family. Molly and Jason fell in love and decided to move back to America to get married and settle. Their marriage soon soured - Jason was resistant to Molly adopting his children. Molly would regularly make comments about Jason's weight. One night in August 2015, Molly's father Tom was staying with the family in the Corbett home. He called 911 and reported that there had been an altercation at the home and he had acted in self-defense. When authorities arrived, Jason was pronounced dead. In 2017, Molly and Tom ended up being convicted of Jason's murder. In 2023, they both took plea deals in the case and were resentenced. They were freed from prison in 2024. This case is in the media again due to the new Netflix documentary titled ‘ A Deadly American Marriage.'
