*A warning, today's episode contains details of domestic violence which listeners may find upsetting*
Terrorist, garda killer and prolific wife beater, Pearse McAuley’s long litany of convictions have established him as one of Ireland’s most dangerous criminals for over 30 years.

McAuley was part of a team that murdered Detective Garda Jerry McCabe. The garda was shot at point-blank range by an AK-47 in an attack by the Provisional IRA on June 7, 1996, outside Adare Post Office. Garda McCabe’s colleague, Detective Garda Ben O'Sullivan, was seriously injured in the attack.

Sun, 04 Feb 2024 - 801 - Kyle Walker: The latest Premier League star to be outed as a "love rat", but is it anyone's business?
Wayne Rooney, John Terry, Ryan Giggs and Kyle Walker. What do they all have in common? Apart from being millionaire footballers who’ve scored big for club and country, they’ve all played away from home in their respective relationships. Walker, the Manchester City defender, has had major success on the pitch for his club but has been a steadier fixture on the gossip pages rather than sporting ones of late. This week he made a tearful public apology after fathering a second child with reality TV star Lauryn Goodman, behind his wife’s back. Today on the Indo Daily Fionnán Sheehan is joined by Gemma Abbott, contributor to the UK Independent, and by Daniel McDonnell, football correspondent for the Irish Independent, to ask why do we treat Kyle Walker and other "bad boy" footballers like gods when, as Gemma says it, they’re just "inadequate men"?
