FLASH Johnny Morrissey became the first of the Kinahan 'SEVEN' to be arrested this week when Spanish police swooped on him for laundering a phenomenal €350,000 a day for the mob.

The feared enforcer, sanctioned by U.S. authorities along with the top command Christy Kinahan Snr and his sons Daniel and Christopher Jnr, is now behind bars and sources say he has reached the end of the road in a criminal career which has spanned decades.

For years, he believed he was untouchable and lived first in Kinsale in Co Cork and later on the Costa del Crime where his luxury villa is a monument to the Roman Emperor Nero.

Episode 439: Man falsely identified on social media as the suspect of stabbing outside Dublin school

Episode 439: Man falsely identified on social media as the suspect of stabbing outside Dublin school

Special security has been put in place for a man who has been falsely identified on social media as the suspect of last week’s stabbing of children outside a Dublin school. The photograph and other details were widely shared after the publication of an article by the online new outlet Gript which has since removed the story which blamed the wrong man. Gript have also issued a statement alleging that their original reporting was sourced from a member of an Garda Siochana and backed up by a senior justice official - a move not usual by journalists who have a strong code of ethics to protect their sources. Nicola speaks with Niall Donald about the fallout from the situation, the effects of incorrect reporting and the job of mainstream media to remain controlled and accurate in the face of high emotions.

Episode 437: The gangland feud that led to the murder of Brandon Ledwidge

The funeral of Brandon Ledwidge saw masked youths on motorbikes mount pavements in Finglas this week as a village was brought to a standstill. The 23-year-old murder victim who was shot dead at his front door earlier this month was laid to rest in a steel American-style casket with groups of young men wearing t-shirts designed with the dead man's face. Ledwidge is understood to have been killed after rowing with a local gangland figure and ignoring orders around drug dealing. Nicola speaks to Niall Donald about the brutal death of a street dealer and about the problems for communities living at the coal face of the crack cocaine epidemic. Hosted on Acast.

Episode 435: Talbot Street machete attack - Is there a political crisis for Gardaí and the Minister for Justice?

Episode 435: Talbot Street machete attack - Is there a political crisis for Gardaí and the Minister for Justice?

Another assault on a city centre street, a video on social media showing a victim being hit by a machete just a few hundred metres from one of Dublin’s busiest police stations, and a Garda Chief and Justice Minister under fire. As pressure grows on Drew Harris and Helen McEntee to answer questions about how they lost control of the capital during riots last week, further violence seems to be adding fuel to a political fire. But is the incident on Talbot Street really another sign that Dublin is a no-go zone or is it a not-so-abnormal occurrence on a city street long forgotten by police and politicians? Nicola speaks with Niall Donald as the crises for the Gardai and the Department of Justice deepen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 434: The fallout following the Dublin Riots and the rise of the Far-Right in Ireland

The brave actions of a hero care worker, a Deliveroo driver and a passerby who came to the aid of young children who suffered a horrific knife attack in Dublin have been recognised amid the shocking riots that followed a dark day in the capital. As the dust settles on an uprising that saw public transport set on fire, Gardai cornered and attacked and looting of shops, we consider what happened in Dublin last week to put it on the worldwide stage for all the wrong reasons. How did a shocking attack on young children lead to the terrifying scenes that followed? And how do we start to understand the growth of racism in Ireland – a nation once treated in a similar fashion over decades of mass migration? Nicola speaks with Niall Donald about the fallout from events in the city and the rise of the Far Right. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
