I want to thank all State agencies involved in the MV Matthew operation. A courageous, complex mission led by the Defence Forces, Air Corps, Naval Service & ARW resulted in a major drug seizure & prosecutions. Govt remains committed to resourcing this vital work.

Brother Kevin was one of life’s true heroes who devoted his life to helping others. A proud Cork man, he made an enormous contribution to assisting vulnerable Dublin people with the foundation of the Capuchin Day Centre. Brother Kevin will never be forgotten.
