Man ‘let fraudsters use account to launder smishing scam proceeds', court hears
A court was told Darragh Sutcliffe (20) gave the scammers his details over Snapchat in exchange for €400, but was never paid A student let fraudsters use his bank account to launder the proceeds of a €16,000 smishing scam, then falsely told gardaí that he himself was a victim, it is alleged. A court was told Darragh Sutcliffe (20) gave the scammers his details over Snapchat in exchange for €400, but was never paid. Judge John King ruled that the case was too serious to be dealt with at district court level. He adjourned the case for further DPP directions. Mr Sutcliffe, of Wainsfort Park, Terenure, appeared in Dublin District Court charged with money laundering and making a false statement. A garda told the judge that the DPP consented to the case being heard in the district court subject to the issue of jurisdiction being considered. He said it was alleged the accused gave his student bank account details to a third party in exchange for €400, in an arrangement over Snapchat. A total of €16,350, believed to be the proceeds of a smishing scam, was deposited into Mr Sutcliffe's account in four fraudulent transactions between May 23 and May 25, 2023. Some €3,500 was withdrawn from various ATMs. There had been three victims of the scam, which came to light when one woman inadvertently responded to a fraudulent eFlow text message, and €9,350 was taken from her account without her permission. It was alleged that after Mr Sutcliffe's account was identified, he went to Terenure garda station on June 29, 2023, and knowingly made a false report to distance himself from the money laundering incidents, 'trying to imply that he was a victim of the scam'. Darragh Sutcliffe News in 90 Seconds - June 17th Mr Sutcliffe himself had no part to play in the initial smishing scam and never received the €400, the court heard. Judge King said the accused's alleged role was that of 'active participant'. A defence solicitor said the fraudsters 'specifically target people like Mr Sutcliffe' who was only 18 years old at the time. There was not as much awareness of these offences two years ago, he said. Judge King refused jurisdiction and remanded Mr Sutcliffe on continuing bail to appear in court again on July 4. He will be sent forward to the circuit court when a book of evidence is ready.

Ottawa's $11-billion infrastructure gap: Here's what you need to know
Article content City staff are proposing water rate hikes and taking on more debt to address a $10.8-billion 'gap' between infrastructure needs and available funds over the next 10 years. Article content Staff presented councillors with 12 'asset management plans' (AMPs) that outline critical information on all municipal assets — from transportation services to wastewater and stormwater infrastructure to emergency and protective services — worth approximately $90 billion. Article content Article content Article content The plans offer 'a clear view' of the current state of Ottawa's infrastructure, which, according to a staff report, 'is safe, in good to fair condition, and continues to serve residents.' Article content Article content What is the funding gap? Article content 'These forecasted needs reflect asset renewal, growth, service enhancements, and climate change adaptation and mitigation costs,' according to the staff report. Article content 'A measured backlog is expected in a large and established municipal portfolio, and the city has a strong track record of managing these challenges … Ottawa is experiencing a trend seen in all Canadian municipalities — a growing infrastructure backlog, largely driven by aging assets, the effects of climate change, rising construction costs and a limited number of revenue sources.' Article content Article content Article content The city will need $4.8 billion over the next 10 years for 'priority needs' in repairing and refurbishing water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure. Article content Staff presented councillors with a long-range financial plan for wastewater and stormwater that calls for rate increases between 4.5 and 5.6 per cent annually over the next decade at an average of 5.0 per cent per year. That equates to about five dollars more per month for the average residential home. Article content Mayor Mark Sutcliffe told councillors that it would be considered 'good debt' at the June 3 finance and corporate services committee. Article content 'The way we use debt, I think, would fall into the category of good debt in the sense that we're not using debt to pay for our yearly operating expenses, we are using debt to pay for long-term investments in assets that will generate benefit to the community for many, many years to come,' Sutcliffe said.

REGRU: The Third-Generation Farmer Taking On Big Tech and Government Inaction with Grassroots Innovation
While Clarkson's Farm spotlights farming's struggles, one farmer is quietly building the infrastructure to heal the world's soil crisis, from ground up EDINBURGH, UNITED KINGDOM, June 3, 2025 / / -- As millions watch Clarkson's Farm witness the mounting pressures on UK agriculture, two paths have emerged from farming communities: some have turned to campaigning and activism, while others are quietly building the future of global agriculture from the soil up. Rather than waiting for the government or big tech to address issues as pressing and globally significant as soil health, third-generation farmer Edmund Sutcliffe is taking matters into his own hands. Sutcliffe is building the underpinnings of a system: REGRU that can connect and empower farmers worldwide who are dedicated to doing right by their land, while giving consumers meaningful choice over their environmental impact. 'There's a silent crisis happening beneath our feet,' says Sutcliffe. 'Soil degradation affects every living creature on this planet, yet the systems needed to verify and reward regenerative farming simply don't exist. So we're building them — with farmers, for farmers.' What makes REGRU possible is Autonomi, a revolutionary data network that mirrors how natural systems actually work, through distributed intelligence and self-organisation, much like how forests communicate through fungal networks, or how ant colonies govern themselves. Unlike the centralized internet controlled by big tech, Autonomi puts data sovereignty back in the hands of users, creating tamper-proof records of regenerative farming progress that farmers, consumers, and businesses can trust. 'Agriculture needs more than awareness — it needs infrastructure that supports regeneration and puts control back in farmers' hands,' explains David Irvine, the decentralization pioneer behind Autonomi. 'That's the power of networks inspired by nature itself.' REGRU emerged from Impossible Futures, a community-driven incubator supporting breakthrough applications on the Autonomi network. By linking everyday purchases directly to verified regenerative farms, REGRU offers consumers the chance to vote with their wallets. Transforming cultural awareness into tangible action. This is more than an app or platform: its farmer-led infrastructure for the future of food, or any plant or animal based goods. While the farming establishment debates policy and corporations chase profits, working farmers like Sutcliffe are behind the scenes building the systems that could reshape global agriculture from the soil up. As the UK's farming story unfolds on screens, REGRU represents the next chapter: one where farmers have the tools to heal the earth without waiting for permission from above. About REGRU: Founded by third generation farmer Edmund Sutcliffe, REGRU connects regenerative farmers directly with conscious consumers through verified soil health data on the Autonomi network.
