This week on The Indo Daily we are looking back at some of our best investigative episodes from 2025 so far. Today’s episode was first released on May 6th 2025; The rise and fall of Glen Ward – the gangster known as ‘Mr Flashy’, has played out in less than a decade. Earlier this summer Ward was given a five and a half year sentence while his brother Eric was previously jailed for five years. Because of the threat to his safety, Ward has been held on a 23.5 hour lock-up, while the address of the prison also cannot be published. However, gardaí have no doubt that they have not seen the last of the 32-year-old criminal, who is due to be released from prison while still in his mid-30s. By mid-2016 Glen Ward took the reins of the crime group which became known as the ‘Gucci Gang’ because of their taste for expensive clothing and jewellery. Ward was no exception to this and was given the nickname ‘Mr Flashy’. Host; Fionnán Sheahan, Guest; Robin Schiller

This week on The Indo Daily, we are revisiting some of our favourite mini-series we produced in 2025 so far. Today we begin episode 2 of Justice Derailed – The Sallins Train Robbery, which was first released on April 22nd; The Sallins train robbery was one of the most daring and lucrative heists in the history of the Irish State. And for Osgur Breatnach, a journalist and activist, it was the beginning of an ordeal that haunts him to this day. He was arrested that morning in 1976, as one of six accused of carrying out the robbery. One week before Christmas of the same year, he and his co-accused were brought into the Special Criminal Court and charged with the crime. It would become one of the most dramatic and longest-running criminal trials in the history of the State. In the final episode of this two-part Indo Daily documentary special, Kevin Doyle revisits the Sallins Train Robbery, speaking to Osgur Breathnach about the trial of the ‘sleeping Judge’, living with PTSD, and why he feels a public inquiry is justified for he and his co-accused.

This week on The Indo Daily, we are revisiting some of our favourite mini-series we produced in 2025 so far. Today we begin the first of our two-part special, Justice Derailed – The Sallins Train Robbery which was first released on April 21st; On the night of March 30th, 1976, a gang of armed men held a family hostage in rural County Kildare and derailed a mail train carrying the equivalent of over €1 million in cash and valuables. It was one of the most audacious robberies in the history of the Irish state—but today, it is remembered for very different reasons. What followed was one of the longest and most controversial trials in the history of the Irish state—one that would see Osgur’s conviction overturned, but not before spending 17 months in Portlaoise prison. The IRA would later claim responsibility for the Sallins robbery, and nearly five decades on, Osgur is still seeking justice for his treatment in the Bridewell Garda station and wrongful conviction.
