Who Guards the Garda? w Cian Ó Concubhair (E25)

Crime journalism is a massive and growing phenomenon in Irish media – much bigger, if you look at international comparisons, than Irish crime.

Maynooth author and researcher Cian Ó Concubhair has been talking to reporters about whether and how they view such reporting as having a role in democracy.

The Party Line is a podcast from The Ditch, hosted by Harry Browne, with Paulie Doyle of The Ditch.
