What next for Dylan McGrath as Fade Street empire on the brink 

This week, three Limerick-based gardaí accused of perverting the course of justice walked free from court after a total of 33 charges were withdrawn against them. Having endured a “six-year hell”, the gardaí now intend to commence legal action against the State. The saga has prompted fresh questions about discipline in the gardaí. Is the level of scrutiny on the guards affecting their performance and creating an atmosphere of fear and paranoia? And has the battle to weed out ‘bad eggs’ gone too far?

“Six-year hell”: Has the battle to find 'bad cops’ in An Garda Síochána gone too far?

Tiger Woods will forever be recognised as a sporting icon, but somewhere along the way, the headlines took on a much different, more alarming tone. Highly-publicised affairs, PR-prompted apologies and a string of car crashes have become as associated with Woods as his many triumphs on the links. As the detritus piles up around him, we examine the cause and effect of a most difficult downfall.

The strange ongoing downfall of Tiger Woods 

A new chapter could be unfolding in the aftermath of Conor McGregor’s civil rape case, with a Garda investigation into Nikita Hands one-time neighbours, now approaching its conclusion. Also in recent weeks, it has been announced that the public will soon get a behind the scenes account of the 2024 civil judgement, from Nikita Hand herself in a forthcoming book.  
Elsewhere in an unrelated case, Conor McGregor’s sister’s business has also come before Dublin courts.  Aoife McGregor  has been ordered to make a charity donation after her salon admitted selling a sunbed session to an underage girl.
