Hi Nicola love the podcast How come you your not covering the murder trial of Galway man accused of murdering his aunt by running over her with a jcb. He’s pleaded not guilty until proven otherwise. Just thought it such a big story instead of going over old stories so often mr flashy etc etc & coverage of Stephen silver trial not much attention to that either. A member of the Gardai lost his life on duty that would of been top of the list back in the day.
