New revelations have surfaced concerning the Kinahan cartel's alleged use of a secret 'underground bank' and a network of money brokers. This comes as reports indicate that Christy Kinahan Sr is not facing any criminal charges related to cartel activities.
Meanwhile, an investigation has exposed a deepening crisis in mental health services for pregnant women and new mothers, with limited access to essential care and instances of a hospital directing women to paid sessions over free services. The legal sector is also under strain, as legal aid certificate grants have seen a drastic 93% decrease due to an ongoing dispute over fees among solicitors.
Other domestic news includes calls for stricter regulations on e-bikes and e-scooters following a doubling of hospital admissions, and a local village grappling with a traffic crisis. On a positive note, the founders of Daft.ie have secured a significant sum from a business sale, and Mayo and Kerry dominate the GAA All-Star football nominations.
