And it would help to contribute to, I suppose, the general discontent that people are feeling towards the government here as well.

Now according to John Mooney in the Sunday Times that was kind of his downfall and there was some reporting to suggest that he had kind of been trying to court the powers that be in the Emirates that he had adopted wearing traditional garb that he had even spoken about wanting to convert to Islam and even though there's so much reporting in the tabloids and the broadsheets the one thing that everyone seems to agree on is that this did take him by surprise.

He's been living abroad for over a decade and he's been living a kind of ostentatious, audacious lifestyle.

The Sunday Times had some reporting last week

showing him kind of openly attending sports events.

We know that the Kinahans have used sports watching a lot throughout their empire over the last few years and decades.

But I think it is obviously massively significant for the Irish authorities here.

It's a massive boost of confidence because I think the public were starting to get a bit

inured to reports of how the net is closing.

I feel like that rhetoric has been out there for a very, very long time.

And I think people are starting to get the sense that maybe nothing, that this arrest would never happen, maybe.

So I think it's quite important, even though this is an international arrest, but I think it's quite important for morale in the Irish authorities as well.

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.
