This morning.
A total of 6,845 bicycles have been reported stolen since January 2020 and April 23, 2021.
The average value of the stolen bicycles is €500 while 10% of the bikes were worth €1,000 or more.
More than 70% of the bicycles were reported stolen in the Dublin Metropolitan Region for a total of 4,825 bikes [compared to in Cork]…
A total of 2,139 bicycles were recovered throughout that period but these were not necessarily stolen during the same timeframe.

Last night.
Pat Sweeney’s children were returned to their mother following outcry over their removal from their father’s home by An Garda Síochána at 3.30am on Saturday. It is understood the children were the subject of a court order to be returned to their mother, who lives in France.
Mr Sweeney had last month filmed officers removing parishioners from a local church. He is shown at top (video) in Longford Garda Station.
