Ireland’s Remand Crisis Exposed | Limerick News

Ireland’s prison system is in crisis, with nearly 20% of inmates held pre-trial—over a thousand people locked up not for crimes they’ve committed, but while awaiting trial or sentencing. This number has surged since 2016, and shockingly, 74% of those held on remand are later released without serving a day. The system is disproportionately impacting the homeless, mentally ill, addicted, and impoverished—with the Traveller community especially overrepresented. Advocates are demanding urgent reforms: better bail supervision, fairer cash bail, therapeutic alternatives, and even decriminalizing personal drug possession. The goal? To turn pre-trial detention into a last resort—not the default—and fix the root societal issues that funnel people into the justice system in the first place.

Teenagers Hurt in Skerries Car Incident | Limerick News

A car plowed into a crowd of teens in Skerries over the weekend, leaving four injured — three teens rushed to hospital, one man later reported hurt. The 29-year-old driver, Sean McGlone, appeared in court charged with dangerous driving.

Air Fryer Safety Tips from the CCPC | Limerick News

Air fryers are mostly safe—but user mistakes can turn them into kitchen hazards. After recalling 60,000 units earlier this year, Ireland’s CCPC tested dozens of models and found they generally meet safety standards. But 73% of households own one, and many use it daily. Overheating and fires have been reported, so the commission is urging users to follow manuals, keep vents clear, avoid extension cords, and clean regularly. Safety isn’t just in the design—it’s in how you use it. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
