'Brother, you have left us all in sorrow,' her tribute began. 'Why? You were such a wise man and always sought peace, a man who helped everyone when they needed help, a man who spread the word of God, the same God who let you die at the hands of your enemies. 'Please, come home so I can see you one more time, come home so I can hug you one more time, so I can sit at your feet and listen to you speak wise words about my life,' she pleaded.

Second man arrested in follow-up operation after 3D-printed gun seized
Gardaí have arrested a second man in connection with the seizure of a firearm in Dublin on Tuesday night. While on routine patrol along Turvey Avenue, Inchicore, Dublin 8 at around 8pm on Tuesday night uniform Gardaí from Kilmainham (Community Engagement) Garda Station observed two males of interest entering a taxi. On stopping the taxi the Gardaí were met by a strong smell of cannabis. Both males were informed they were going to be searched under the provisions of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977. One of the males was found to be wearing a ballistic vest and in possession of a substantial sum of money. As he was being searched, a .22 calibre pistol fell from being concealed in the ballistic vest. The firearm seized is now subject to full technical examination. Gardaí arrested the man in his 20s in connection with the seizure and detained him under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act, 1939 at a Garda Station in Dublin. He has been charged in connection with the case and is scheduled to appear before the Criminal Courts of Justice (Court No. 4) on Thursday, June 26 at 10:30am. In the course of a follow-up operation on Wednesday, June 25, investigating Gardaí conducted a search of a residential property in Dublin's inner city. A second male, aged in his 20s, was arrested during the operation. He is currently detained under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act, 1939, at a Garda station in the Dublin Region. Speaking about last night's seizure Assistant Commissioner Paul Cleary said, "I want to acknowledge and commend the work of two uniform members of An Garda Síochána yesterday evening going about their duties diligently and proactively. "This was a timely intervention likely to have saved lives or prevented serious injury and is another dangerous firearm which has been taken off the streets of Dublin. "Gardaí across the Dublin region are on duty 24 hours a day, supporting local communities and working hard to An Garda Síochána's mission of keeping people safe'.

Anthony Nash was arrested two days before drink-driving charge dismissed
Former Cork All Star hurler Anthony Nash was arrested for public disorder in Dublin just two days before a drink-driving charge against him was dismissed in Cork. Mr Nash, a former Cork hurling goalkeeper, was arrested in Dublin and taken to Mountjoy garda station on Saturday evening where he was later charged. 'Gardaí arrested a man in relation to a public order incident in Dublin 1 that occurred on the evening of Saturday 14th June 2025,' a garda spokesperson said. 'The man (aged in his 40s) was arrested under the Public Order Act, and taken to a Garda Station in the Dublin area. 'He has since been charged, and is due to appear before the Criminal Courts of Justice at a later date. Investigations are ongoing.' Mr Nash was arrested in a Dublin 1 hotel after gardaí were contacted over concerns that the star hurler 'needed help', the Independent reports. Mr Nash may have been attending an event in the hotel following a rugby final in Croke Park. Drink-driving charge A drink-driving charge was dismissed against Mr Nash in Cork District Court two days later on Monday. Mr Nash had allegedly asked a garda in Cork 'do you know who I am?' after she found him drunk at his car which was crashed in a ditch and partially sticking out onto a "busy thoroughfare" blocking a traffic lane on the evening of August, 9, 2023. Mr Nash reportedly told the garda 'I'm drunk' when she found him at the scene of the crash in Cloghroe, Blarney, Co Cork. Mr Nash, aged 40, allegedly told gardaí 'my life is ruined' when he was arrested that night, a court previously heard. He also allegedly told gardaí he had been driving at the time of the crash, the court heard. Mr Nash was twice named an All-Star with an inter-county career lasting 15 years. He played for Cork in the All-Ireland final against Clare in 2013, which Cork lost following a replay. Mr Nash played as goalkeeper for the Cork senior hurling team for 15 seasons before retiring in 2020. He previously played for Kanturk and Limerick South Liberties club.
