- I’m hooked.
An unbelievable listen. I find myself wondering how the Garda could be so blind at times and at others thinking what great work they did. It exposes so much about behaviour (of all parties) and I find myself not wanting it to end but also to want to get to the end. It’s emotionally testing and(especially after some episodes) I need to take a break. This reporting is important work as we should not forget these crimes and the victims.
