- 2:24The panel discusses colleague Pat O'Connell's Crime Journalist of the Year award and the reporting behind it.
- 20:01Donald recounts how paperwork errors led to a prisoner's mistaken release and nearly two years at large.
- 27:21Byrne introduces the suspicion that Darren Hoolahan was kidnapped and murdered in Spain.
- 32:32Donald reports Eleanor Donaldson's addition to the sex offenders register following a trial of facts.
Eleanor Donaldson has been added to the sex offenders register following a trial of facts, Niall Donald reports in Crime World's new weekly roundup. The update shares the episode's headline with the investigation into Darren Hoolahan's disappearance in Spain, but neither subject arrives immediately.
Nicola Byrne, Eimear Rabbitte and Donald begin with the Irish Journalism Awards, including colleague Pat O'Connell's Crime Journalist of the Year win. Court and policing developments follow, before the programme reaches its two headline subjects in the final third.
As we reported here, Crime World has already examined Spanish raids connected with the Hoolahan investigation. In this episode, Byrne says the suspicion in Spain is that he was kidnapped and murdered. Donald discusses what he describes as remaining Kinahan cartel operations there and the dangers facing people within those criminal networks. The discussion does not establish what happened to Hoolahan.
The upload drew about 11,000 views in its first 14 hours. For readers coming specifically for the Donaldson development, Donald's account begins at 32:32, with the addition to the register following a trial of facts, rather than a conventional criminal trial, forming the central court update.
