Northern Ireland women say they are shocked after finding out their clothing was removed from legitimate photographs taken when they were children. The PSNI are investigating allegations artificial intelligence software was used to remove teenagers' clothing.

People who are considering committing a crime in Northern Ireland may think twice if their mugshots are made public: the PSNI has announced plans to publish images of individuals who have been convicted of offences, with anyone sentenced to one year or more being considered for release.The PSNI believes this approach will help build public confidence and act as a deterrent to crime.So, is this a fair policy? Should offenders face this additional consequence, or is their sentence punishment enough?Joining Andrea to discuss is Kathleen Chada, Founder of SAVE action group, Criminologist John Cuffe, Senator and Co-Founder of Tiglin, Aubrey McCarthy and listeners.

Activist Lawyer Podcast, host Sarah Henry sits down with Diarmuid Brecknell, solicitor at Phoenix Law, to discuss his pivotal role in securing justice for victims of historical abuse and families affected by the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Diarmuid shares his experience of working on inquests, inquiries, and actions against public authorities, and sheds light on his involvement in some of the most high-profile and sensitive cases in recent years. Tune in to hear about the challenges, triumphs, and the ongoing fight for accountability in some of the most complex legal battles in Ireland.   Diarmuid is a Solicitor in the Public Law, Inquests, and Inquiries Department at Phoenix Law. He completed his LLB at Ulster University before graduating from the Institute of Professional Legal Studies at Queen's University Belfast in 2025. Diarmuid specialises in inquests, inquiries and actions against public authorities and is instructed in some of the most high-profile and sensitive cases in the jurisdiction. He also acts in several high-value civil claims arising from the actions of both public bodies and private organisations. Diarmuid has assisted in some of the most contentious and complex legal challenges brought against public authorities in recent years. His experience includes involvement in the landmark Supreme Court case Re McGuigan & McKenna (the “Hooded Men”) and the Court of Appeal decision in Re Barnard (the “Glenanne Series”), which resulted in an order for a fresh investigation into more than 120 murders, Operation Denton. He is also instructed in the significant civil actions flowing from these matters and has played a key role in securing substantial settlements for victims and survivors in claims against the PSNI, MOD, and other state bodies. Diarmuid's extensive inquest and inquiry experience includes appearing in the historic Stardust Fire Inquest in Dublin, one of the largest and most complex inquests ever held in Ireland. Representing families who had campaigned for justice for over four decades, Diarmuid was part of the legal team that ultimately secured unlawful killing verdicts for all 48 victims, a landmark outcome that overturned 40 years of injustice and fundamentally reshaped public understanding of the tragedy. Diarmuid's experience also includes the Ballymurphy Inquest, which examined the deaths of ten civilians killed during the introduction of internment in 1971. After nearly five decades, the Coroner found that all of those who died were entirely innocent of wrongdoing and that their killings were unjustified and unlawful. In addition, Diarmuid has worked on the Hickson Public Inquiry into historic child sexual abuse committed by Bill Kenneally in Waterford from 1970-1990s. Phoenix Law acted for survivors in their pursuit of transparency and accountability from institutions such as An Garda Síochána, Tusla, and the political leadership of the period, all of which had received reports of abuse but failed to intervene, allowing it to continue. Diarmuid is also currently instructed by over 380 victims of Michael Shine, one of the largest and most significant institutional-abuse cases ever brought in the State. He has helped progress the matter from its earliest stages to its current point, where a government-led scoping exercise is now underway to determine the most suitable model for a formal public inquiry. Throughout this process, he has represented survivors before senior public officials, including the Taoiseach, ensuring that their voices and experiences remain at the centre of the emerging investigative framework. Alongside his public law work, Diarmuid continues to act in multiple high-value civil claims and has experience in complex commercial litigation in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.   For more on Diarmuid's work, check out: https://www.phoenix-law.org/

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an tríú lá déag de mhí na Nollag. Is mise Siubhán Nic Amhlaoibh.Tá teaghlach Patrick Rooney, an chéad leanbh a fuair bás sna Trioblóidí, le "cúiteamh suntasach" a fháil tar éis caingean dlí i gcoinne Sheirbhís Póilíní Thuaisceart Éireann as a dhúnmharú mídhleathach sa bhliain 1969. Lámhachadh Patrick, buachaill 9 mbliana d'aois, ina cheann ag Árasáin Dhuibhise i mBéal Feirste le linn oibríochta ag Constáblacht Ríoga Uladh (RUC), a scaoil suas le 200 babhta ó ghunnaí meaisín suite i bhfeithiclí. Bhí Patrick ina árasán lena theaghlach, ag lorg foscadh i seomra leapa, nuair a bhuail piléar é. Chuir an RUC bac ar imscrúduithe ina dhiaidh sin, agus fuair tuarascáil Ombudsman na bpóilíní in 2021 teipeanna suntasacha oibríochtúla agus imscrúdaitheacha. Mar thoradh ar an chaingean dlí, a ghlac máthair Patrick, Alice Rooney, thángthas ar shocrú lena n-áirítear leithscéal foirmiúil ón PSNI, ina n-aithneofar fulaingt an teaghlaigh. Tugann an socrú, tar éis 56 bliain, roinnt ceartais don teaghlach.Seoladh foclóir nua Gaeilge an tseachtain seo ag an iarsmalann EPIC i mBaile Átha Cliath. Is é an foclóir seo, a sheol an tUachtarán Catherine Connolly ag imeacht Dé Máirt, an chéad fhoclóir cuimsitheach aonteangach Gaeilge-Gaeilge. Dúirt an tUachtarán Connolly gur "acmhainn ríthábhachtach in aon teanga bheo é foclóir aonteangach nua-aimseartha, ina leagann pobal na teanga amach saibhreas agus uathúlacht na teanga ina cuid focal féin, seachas trí mhéan teanga eile". Cuireadh tús le hobair ar An Foclóir Nua Gaeilge i mí Mheán Fómhair 2022, agus bhí príomheagarthóir foclóir Fhoras na Gaeilge Pádraig Ó Mianáin agus clárbhainisteoir foclóra Cormac Breathnach i gceannas ar an tionscadal. Tá sciar tosaigh de 20,000 iontráil, ina bhfuil 40,000 ciall focail, beo ar Focloir.ie. Tá príomhchéim an tionscadail foclóra le bheith críochnaithe faoi Lúnasa 2027, agus faoin am sin beidh 30,000 iontráil agus 80,000 ciall ann.Tá balla ollmhór faoi uisce aimsithe ag seandálaithe mara na Fraince amach ó chósta na Briotáine, atá thart ar 7,000 bliain d'aois. Síltear gur ó shochaí na Clochaoise a d'fhéadfadh sé a bheith agus gurbh é a imeacht faoi na farraigí mar bhunús le finscéal faoi chathair áitiúil a chuaigh faoi uisce. Creideann na seandálaithe gur gaiste éisc nó claí a bhí sa bhalla 120 méadar (394 troigh) – an foirgneamh faoi uisce is mó a fuarthas riamh sa Fhrainc – chun cosaint a thabhairt i gcoinne leibhéil na farraige ag ardú. Nuair a tógadh é ar Île de Sein ag rinn thiar na Briotáine, bhí an balla ar an chladach, ach tá sé faoi naoi méadar uisce sa lá atá inniu ann. Tá an balla 20 méadar ar leithead agus dhá mhéadar ar airde ar an mheán. Fuair tumadóirí clocha móra eibhir – nó monailití – ag gobadh amach os cionn an bhalla i dhá líne chomhthreomhara. Más ceart an hipitéis faoin ghaiste éisc, is dócha go mbíodh líonra déanta as bataí agus craobhacha faoi chúram na monailítí ag gobadh amach chun iasc a ghabháil de réir mar a tharraing an taoide siar.

The body of 23-year-old Kelly Lynch was found in a canal in Monaghan on the morning of St Patrick's Day 2024.For 30 hours, her mother Julieanne had been unable to get in contact with her daughter who had travelled over the Border to visit her boyfriend. Increasingly worried, she got in the car to drive to Monaghan to find her.While she was in the car she received a call from the Garda with the news every parent dreads. An Garda Síochána initially determined that the young woman had fallen and that her death was an accident.However, her parents John and Julieanne believe that there is so much about their daughter's death that needs to be explained, not least the 93 injuries found on her body. They have been advocating for Kelly since that dreadful day.Julieanne tells In The News the issues the family has with how Kelly's death was handled and how The Katie Trust has been helping her; while former PSNI officer and founder of The Katie Trust James Brannigan explains how his organisation is helping so many bereaved families who have been left, like the Kellys, with questions.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

Sean Hegarty is a brutal double murderer. He is currently in Northern Ireland's maximum-security prison, Maghaberry. But he is somehow updating a Facebook account from behind bars. Hegarty murdered his ex-girlfriend Caron Smyth and her friend Finbar McGrillen in December 2013. Hegarty had just days before been released on bail for domestic violence charges. An inquest found that the PSNI's decision to release the prolific abuser was flawed. How was someone so dangerous let loose on the streets and how can he be on social media?

When an IRA Stormont spy ring was alleged in 2002, devolution quickly plunged into crisis. A PSNI raid on Sinn Féin's Stormont offices discovered a map of castle buildings with instructions on bypassing security, and intelligence on the prison service, including personal details of prison officers. But in 2004, Denis Donaldson – the most senior republican arrested during the raids – admitted he had been a British agent all along. Months later he was murdered in Donegal.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an séú lá is fiche de mhí iúil. Is mise Siubhán Nic Amhlaoibh.Fuair an t-amhránaí rac-cheoil Ozzy Osbourne bás Dé Máirt an tseachtain seo, agus é 76 bhliain d'aois. As Birmingham ó dhúchas, tá sé curtha síos dá bhanna ceoil Black Sabbath gurb iadsan a chruthaigh an seánra miotal trom, a bhuíochas le hamhráin ar nós Iron Man agus Paranoid. Níos lú ná trí seachtaine ó shin, rinne Osbourne, a thug an t-ainm “Prince of Darkness” air féin, ceolchoirm dheireanach le slán a fhágáil ina bhaile dúchais, agus cuid mhaith de na ceoltóirí a spreag sé féin ar an ardán leis, Metallica agus Guns n' Roses ina measc. I ráiteas, dúirt a theaghlach: "Is le níos mó bróin ná mar is féidir le focail a chur in iúl go gcaithfimid a thuairisciú gur bhásaigh ár n-Ozzy Osbourne grámhar ar maidin. Bhí sé lena theaghlach." Níor shonraigh siad cúis bháis, ach bhí sraith fadhbanna sláinte ag an réalta agus diagnóisíodh go raibh galar Parkinson air in 2019.

Tá táblaí sa phlean ina ndéantar briseadh síos ar €102.4 billiún den airgead atá geallta a dháileadh ar na ranna rialtais éagsúla ach níl an Ghaeltacht luaite fiú i dteideal na Roinne a bhfuil an cúram sin uirthi.
