The 24-year sentence handed down to Sean McGovern in the Special Criminal Court prompted gasps in the packed courtroom.It will also have sent shock waves through organised crime in Ireland and all the way to the Dubai prison where Daniel Kinahan is awaiting extradition back to Ireland and an appointment in the same court.McGovern was a senior Kinahan cartel figure, formerly based in Dubai before his extradition in 2024, and his jail term is among the longest gangland prison terms.He was convicted of directing the murder of Noel Kirwan and the attempted murder of James “Mago” Gately. The evidence against him – including incriminating conversations with other gang members on phones they believed to be deeply encrypted – prompted his guilty plea.So how did the judge explain the 24-year sentence? And what does this mean for the Kinahan cartel? Irish Times crime and security editor Conor Lally explains.Also last month, Lally came into the In the News studio and, in the episode “Nobody is Stopping Until They Are All Dead”, explained the background to this case and how the Garda built their evidence through a mixture of sophisticated data mining and old-style policing.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan, with research by Ellen Clusker. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Michael O'Sullivan, former Assistant Garda Commissioner, on the jailing of Sean McGovern and how it will impact the criminal gangland world.

If you've ever shouted “just let me talk to a person” at a chatbot, this one's for you. Jeannie Walters is joined by special cohost Brandon McGovern, Senior Director of Customer Experience at HP, to pressure-test the biggest question in AI customer service right now: how do we automate without breaking trust?We start with a headline that feels like a warning label. Norse Atlantic Airways offers dirt-cheap tickets, but customers say there's a catch: customer support is so locked behind tech that getting help can become impossible. We unpack why this isn't simply a “tech problem,” but a governance and leadership problem. When companies remove phone numbers, skip the escape hatch, and ignore high-emotion journeys like refunds and disruptions, they don't just frustrate people, they create financial harm and open the door to fraud.Then we zoom out to the enterprise reality. Cisco's line that adopting AI is “like surgery without the drugs” is painfully honest, and it frames the messy middle many CX teams are living through. We talk about why rushing to automate tasks can amplify mistakes, how to redesign workflows around outcomes, and why “faster” is the wrong North Star compared to what's now possible. Along the way, we dig into authenticity, rising customer expectations, and why AI is killing the illusion of fine print as customers use their own tools to read policies and push back.If you're leading CX, contact centers, or digital support, you'll leave with practical guardrails for pilots, measurement, and intent selection. Subscribe, share this with a teammate, and leave a review with the biggest AI question you're wrestling with right now.About Brandon McGovernSenior Director of Customer Experience at HPUnderstanding your customers isn't enough. I build the systems that turn that understanding into outcomes.I'm a Senior Director of Customer Experience at HP, leading enterprise-wide measurement, analytics, and operations that enable the company to understand and act on customer sentiment in real time. I oversee a global Voice of the Customer ecosystem capturing tens of millions of signals annually, translating them into product, service, digital, and brand strategy decisions across the business.My work has delivered double-digit NPS improvements and material revenue impact by shifting CX from a reporting function to an operational and strategic capability - powered by data, automation, and applied AI.Beyond enterprise implementation, I build with AI hands-on - personal projects in game design, product prototyping, and workflow automation using Claude, Lovable, and other tools.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 448 — Bob Dole: The Life That Brought Him There (Part 29)Feeding Children All Around the World with Senator George McGovernIn Episode 448 of our continuing series on the life and career of Bob Dole, we explore one of the most remarkable bipartisan partnerships in modern American political history — Bob Dole's work with former Senator George McGovern to combat hunger and feed children around the world.Though they stood on opposite sides of the political spectrum — and had once represented very different visions for America — Dole and McGovern forged a friendship and working relationship rooted in shared humanity and a belief that fighting hunger should rise above politics.Together, they became leading advocates for international food assistance programs and school nutrition initiatives designed to help children in some of the poorest regions of the world. Their efforts would eventually contribute to programs that provided meals, hope, and opportunity to millions.This episode explores:• How the unlikely partnership between Dole and McGovern developed • Their shared commitment to fighting hunger and malnutrition • The creation and expansion of international school feeding programs • How bipartisan cooperation made these efforts possible • The personal respect and friendship that grew between the two senatorsAt a time when politics is often defined by division, the story of Bob Dole and George McGovern stands as a reminder that public service can still be guided by compassion, common purpose, and the willingness to work across ideological lines.This is not a story about campaigns or elections.It is a story about feeding children. About finding common ground. And about two former political rivals who chose to leave the world better than they found it.

Gary Dorrien came to organizing the hard way — canvassing for McGovern in Alma, Michigan in 1972, where people didn't just oppose the candidate, they despised him, and where two doorstep encounters came close enough to violence that he learned the hard way to pair up. He didn't come out of that thinking he'd found his calling. What he found instead was Michael Harrington at a Harvard Divinity School lecture two years later — corduroy jacket, blue work shirt, gently correcting his own introduction — and joined DSOC on the spot. This week's session gave us Gary's full origin story as an organizer: from the McGovern campaign to the Albany years where he co-founded a DSOC chapter, led Central American solidarity work through C-SPACE, and discovered firsthand the cultural chasm between two wings of the left that could barely stand to share a building. Then Aaron took over and introduced three extraordinary guests — Joe Strife,Colleen Wessel-McCoy, and Carolyn Baker — who brought the history of the National Welfare Rights Organization, Beulah Sanders, and the General Baker Institute directly into the room, and turned the question of who should lead into a live theological reckoning. Carolyn did the interview sitting on her mother's childhood porch steps in Dallas, recording oral history from a woman who is still organizing through dementia, which tells you everything you need to know about where this tradition lives and who carries it.

In this episode of the Capital Raiser Show, Richard C. Wilson sits down with Kevin McGovern—Chairman and CEO of McGovern Capital—to unpack what it takes to co-found category-leading companies, structure billion-dollar ventures, and scale globally without losing sight of purpose. Kevin shares lessons from helping build more than 25 companies, participating in over 15 global joint ventures across 80+ countries, and scaling multiple businesses to over $1 billion in revenue. From SoBe Beverages to emerging technologies in plastics, energy, and rare earths, this conversation is packed with practical insights on spotting trends early, building trust-based relationships, and knowing when to go all-in. This episode is especially valuable for founders, family offices, and investors who want to think bigger, move smarter, and create significance alongside success. Inside the episode: Why the biggest opportunities are often found before the wave forms How to "catch the current, make the wave" instead of chasing crowded trends Why reputation matters more than your balance sheet in global deal-making Kevin's approach to cutting losers early and doubling down on winners How personal relationships open doors with sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and multinational partners The importance of understanding the numbers, vetting your team, and never outsourcing financial truth Why "success to significance" should be the next evolution of wealth building How joint ventures and licensing can generate non-dilutive capital and accelerate growth globally Kevin also shares hard-earned advice on pattern recognition, plateauing when needed during hypergrowth, structuring smart international partnerships, and building businesses that make a real difference in the world. If you want to grow faster, think more globally, and build with both conviction and purpose, this is an episode worth replaying.

When Sean McGovern, a trusted member of the Kinahan organised crime cartel, was extradited from Dubai last May he can't have known the depth and breadth of the evidence gathered by the Gardaí that would prove that he had directed cartel murder plans at the height of the deadly Kinahan-Hutch feud.It was all laid out in the Special Criminal Court this week as encrypted phone messages between him and fellow gang members during 2015 and 2017 were read out, surveillance footage from over a decade ago was shown and data culled from his laptop was revealed.The solid case against McGovern (40) saw him plead guilty to two charges of directing an organised crime gang.According to Irish Times Crime and Security Editor Conor Lally, the encrypted messages read out in court show how casually the Kinahan cartel talked about taking lives – and how hard they worked at it.In this episode, Lally details how the sentencing trial unfolded, the drama in court and how McGovern, once a feared lieutenant who thought he had escaped justice by fleeing to Dubai, reacted.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

Sean McGovern, long regarded as Daniel Kinahan's second‑in‑command, faces sentencing at the Special Criminal Court. This week's court proceedings have exposed the brutal reality of life inside the Kinahan organisation since the 2016 Regency Hotel shooting, with encrypted messaging revealing chilling details about the cartel's modus operandi. So, what do we now know about the activities and the downfall of one of the Kinahan gang's most senior lieutenants? And what does his fall mean for others still at the very top of the cartel?

The sentencing hearing has been continuing of Sean McGovern, for the details our Crime Correspondent, Paul Reynolds.

On May 1, JWE president Helena Cobban sat down with the former CIA analyst Ray McGovern, who was one of the founders of the antiwar organization Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS). During his career in the CIA, McGovern was a very expert analyst of Soviet (and Russian) affairs. In the early 1980s he was responsible for giving the U.S. president his daily intel briefing.In this convo, McGovern and Cobban discussed (among other topics): the likelihood of any imminent U.S. resumption of major military actions against Iran; the slowly decreasing influence of Israel in the U.S. Congress;the impact of Iranian FM Araghchi's recent visit to Moscow and the potential role that Russia might play in mediating an end to the war; the Israeli navy's recent acts of piracy against the Global Sumoud Flotilla heading to Gaza (in the context of the increasing recourse to acts of piracy by the U.S. navy, as well); andDavid Swanson's recent book War Is Still A Racket.This was latest episode in our continuing series on the Iran Crisis.

Paul tells Mick of a dramatic day in the Special Criminal Court, as all of the evidence against Kinahan cartel associate Sean McGovern was laid bare. McGovern pleaded guilty last month to directing a criminal organisation in relation to the cartel's plot to murder Hutch associate James 'Mago' Gately, and to his role in directing the gang during the murder of Noel 'Duck Egg' Kirwan.

In this episode we sit down with Sheamus McGovern, founder of the Open Data Science Conference (ODSC AI), to unpack what AI actually looks like. Sheamus shares what's really happening behind the scenes of the AI boom and why the biggest shift isn't job loss, but a complete transformation of skills. From explaining why AI is reshaping—not replacing—jobs, to breaking down the gap between hype and real-world applications, this conversation explores how early algorithmic trading foreshadowed today's AI revolution, why open-source tools like TensorFlow and PyTorch changed everything, what the “AI Skill Flip” means for your career, and why even data scientists are questioning their future. Along the way, the biggest mistake people make when trying to learn AI, and why the smartest approach isn't to learn everything—but to start intentionally and build from there.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Brendan Gotta sits down with Dr. Thomas McGovern to explore the reality of what Jesus endured during His Passion—and why it matters for our spiritual lives today.During Lent, and especially on Good Friday, we hear the Gospel accounts of Christ's suffering: the agony in the garden, the scourging, the crowning with thorns, the carrying of the cross, and the crucifixion. But many of us have wondered what these events actually meant physically. What did the human body endure? What truly happened during those final hours?Drawing from his medical expertise and years of research, Dr. McGovern walks through the Passion with both scientific clarity and deep reverence. He addresses common misconceptions about the crucifixion, explains the physical realities behind events like the “blood and water” from Christ's side, and offers a powerful look at the depth of suffering Jesus freely embraced out of love.More importantly, this conversation moves beyond the physical details to the heart of the Gospel: the meaning of suffering. Together, Brendan and Dr. McGovern reflect on redemptive suffering, what it means to “offer it up,” and how Christ's Passion gives purpose to our own crosses. This episode is not about sensationalizing pain, but about drawing closer to Jesus through a deeper understanding of His love.About Dr. Thomas McGovernDr. Thomas McGovern is a physician and author who has spent years studying the medical, historical, and theological dimensions of Christ's Passion. His work brings together scientific insight and Catholic teaching to help readers more fully grasp the reality of what Jesus suffered—and how that transforms our understanding of suffering today.

Today's guest is one of the best qualified people in the London Market. In a thirty-year career he has been a senior executive right at the top of Lloyd's and has either chaired or sat on the board of almost all the institutions that underpin the market and represent it to the outside world. Today Sean McGovern is the CEO of UK & Lloyd's at AXA XL and has just taken over the Chairmanship of the Lloyd's Market Association (LMA), the trade body that represents corporate capital in Lloyd's. Sean will speak for both organisations at varying times in our chat today. The timing couldn't be better. In recent years the LMA has really set the agenda on some of the most strategic developments in the way that underwriting takes place in the subscription market and this discussion goes right to heart of how a future Lloyd's will underwrite, how business will be brokered and how capital and new talent will access the market. I have been interviewing Sean for twenty years and he has a great skill in communicating in a really eloquent, but also very direct and concise way. He is very good at speaking plainly and making complicated ideas easy to understand. Today's podcast is no different and this is one of the most broad-reaching and enlightened conversations I have had with anyone since founding the podcast over six years ago. As Lloyd's embarks on a fresh five-year strategic plan this is a great primer on what all the issues are, where the opportunities lie, and what strategic decisions have to be taken for the market to continue to prosper.
