This I a great podcast, the knowledge and in depth analysis is amazing. Furthermore, the compassion shown to the victims and families is compelling.

I absolutely love this podcast. Expertly researched and delivered. I’d never heard of some of the cases and am genuinely shocked at the details. It also highlights the great work the Guards, DPP do but also shines a light on some the failings in the justice and prison systems in Ireland.
