Ireland Crime

Ireland Crime is an index of crime reporting by Irish news outlets and Garda press releases. It follows each case from the first report through arrest, charge, court and sentence, and links to every source it uses. We do not report anything ourselves and we do not have sources of our own.

An automated language model reads the published articles and writes the summaries, the timeline and the lists of people. People check some of it, but not every page.

A page shows only what the articles said at the time they were published. Later outcomes, such as an acquittal, dropped charges or a successful appeal, may be missing, and the model can get things wrong. Always read the linked reports for the full story.

Being arrested, questioned or charged is not a conviction. Everyone named on this site is presumed innocent unless a court has convicted them. Where a page says someone was charged, it is repeating what a report said, not saying they did it.

The original publishers are responsible for their own reports. We link to them and show short headlines and facts. If an outlet corrects or removes a report, tell us and we will update the page.

If something on a page is wrong, out of date or about you, use the report form. Link to a newer report or a court outcome if you can, because it speeds things up.

If you say a report is about you, the page comes down straight away while we check it, and stays down until we have looked. Nothing is deleted. We aim to read every report within two working days, and we fix what is wrong or take the page down for good.
