The Indo Daily

Daniel Kinahan sounded bemused when he described the frenzy around his life as “movie stuff”, but the scenes that accompanied his trip back to Ireland were undeniably cinematic.
A trip on a €53m government jet that was tracked by the public in real-time, a ring of steel around parts of Dublin as he was escorted in a bomb-proof convoy, and a long-awaited appointment at the Criminal Courts of Justice.
Perhaps the most surprising aspect, however, was the alleged criminal kingpin’s affable back and forth with the judge.
So, where does Daniel Kinahan go from here?
The Irish Independent’s news and security correspondent, Robin Schiller, was present to see it all unfold. He joins host Kevin Doyle on this Extra episode of The Indo Daily to break it down.

At around 4.30am on March 19, 1996, a panic alarm alerted gardaí to a disturbance at Jack White’s Inn near Brittas Bay in Co Wicklow.
Arriving at the scene, the guards discovered Tom Nevin dead in the kitchen of his pub in what initially appeared to be a robbery gone wrong.
The place was in disarray and Mr Nevin had been shot dead at close range.
His wife, Catherine Nevin, was found nearby, behind the hall door of the pub, her hands tied with a dressing gown cord.
She would claim that a hooded man had threatened her with a weapon as she slept, tied her up, ransacked the area in search of money and valuables, and murdered her husband in the process.
One part of her story would turn out to be true – her husband was indeed murdered, but his grieving widow was not the innocent bystander she claimed to be.
Thirty years on from the killing, host Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Mary Wilson, former RTÉ legal affairs editor and host of Drivetime and Morning Ireland, on the first of a two-part Indo Daily special to look back at the emergence of one of Ireland’s most notorious criminals; The Black Widow.
This episode of The Indo Daily was first released in March 2026.

Daniel Kinahan is languishing behind bars in Dubai as he awaits extradition to Ireland, but the exiled cartel boss is speaking out – as a podcast guest.
­
Having famously teased a previous audio sit-down with Kinahan that never made it to air, broadcaster James English insists he finally has a world exclusive, and a box-office one at that.
­
English has released snippets of the apparently forthcoming interview, in which Kinahan states that he believes he’s “already got life in prison”, that he expects to receive “character assassination”, and that he doesn’t have “a hope of getting a fair trial”.
­
Kinahan also alluded to potential attempts on his life while in custody.
­
On this episode of The Indo Daily, host Katie Byrne is joined by Crime World journalist Neil Fetherstonhaugh to look at how a PR machine runs in the criminal underworld, and Daniel Kinahan’s latest attempt to control his narrative.
