Money did protect him for a very long time.

If you wanted to be inoculated and insulated by wealth, it'd be hard to find a worse place to go than Dubai, really.

But I suppose if and when this does go to trial, when he is extradited to Ireland, we know that that extradition arrangement is already in place.

I think it would probably be one of the most significant trials in terms of criminal justice in this country for a very long time.

And again, we see everything through the prism of the Kinahan-Hutch feud.

But I think sometimes we underestimate the international imprint that this drugs gang has on the world.

Yes, so this is a story about a turtle who has been in the aquarium in Kerry, which I'm sure a lot of listeners have visited for 22 years.

Her name is Molly.

She's a sea turtle and she's going to be flown to Portugal this week before being released back into the Atlantic.

Basically, something had happened to her flippers when she was very small, which is why she was living basically in captivity for so long.

Obviously, turtles have a very long life expectancy.

She is just coming into the point where she would be entering, I suppose, her fertile years, if you want to put it that way.

So the plan is to release her back into the wild so that she can actually start breeding again.

But it's interesting, Kevin Flannery, who is the director of Dingle Ocean World, said that there was actually a fear that this might never happen, that they thought she was so injured and so damaged that she'd never be strong enough again.

So obviously, I'm sure kids and families will be sad to see her go, but it's a nice good news story on a Sunday.

Yeah, so it sounds like, I mean, 20 years in captivity, you'd think your best years are behind you, but it seems not for this particular turtle.

Yes, this is a story in the Mail that basically apparently he's being headhunted to play a key enforcer role, as the Mail puts it, to combat dereliction in Dublin.

As we know, he was famously or infamously one of the most highest paid civil servants within the government.

He kind of has a bit of a reputation of being, I suppose, as the Mail would describe it, a bit of an enforcer, someone who...

cuts through red tape and gets things done.
