| 6/24/26 | ![]() Lines of Enquiry Recommends: GoLoud Sleep Sounds | Hi! John here. I just wanted to drop in with a recommendation.If you find it difficult nodding off after the show, or just want to relax to the ambient sounds of some of Ireland's most scenic spots, we want to introduce you to GoLoud's latest original stream - GoLoud Sleep Sounds.This specialized series is a calming collection of immersive 10-hour soundscapes, with each episode carefully tailored for anyone looking for a calmer bedtime routine. The long-form, entirely uninterrupted audio is designed specifically to create a soothing, protected environment that can be played through the night or as a calming backdrop during moments of rest and relaxation. Within this stream, there is no talking, no suspenseful stories, and absolutely no commercial interruptions to startle you awake. Instead, Sleep Sounds atmosphericially transports your senses to landscapes across Ireland, from the cadence of the waves at Curracloe Beach in spring and Howth Harbour at sunset, to the isolated Midlands on a stormy night, the wind through the Wicklow Mountains in winter, or the deep shadows of Dublin after dark.This soothing ambience flows continuously through the night, allowing you to completely switch off the outside world. GoLoud Sleep Sounds is available now on the GoLoud app or wherever you get your podcasts. Simply press play, put the phone down, and let it do the rest.Have a listen here:https://open.spotify.com/show/033wsfw3b3SrnBby4xyZhf?si=c78b9fe42b4949fd | — | ||||||
| 6/23/26 | ![]() Case Notes: The Disappeared | In this episode of Lines of Enquiry: Case Notes, John is joined by Geoff Knupfer, former lead investigator with the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims’ Remains. For almost two decades, Geoff led searches for some of the Disappeared, those abducted, murdered and secretly buried during the Troubles, helping to return loved ones to families who had spent years waiting for answers. Geoff reflects on the unique challenge of turning the commission from a reactive process into a proactive investigative operation, and the importance of approaching the work as a humanitarian mission rather than a criminal investigation. He discusses the care and persistence required to build trust, recover remains, support families and work within strict legal limits. Before his work with the commission, Geoff spent 30 years with Greater Manchester Police, where he was involved in major investigations and cold case reviews, including the continued search for victims of the Moors murders. He reflects on how that experience shaped his understanding of unresolved loss, forensic recovery and the long search for truth. If you have information for the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims’ Remains, you can email secretary@iclvr.ie or leave a confidential voice message on +353 1 602 8655. | — | ||||||

| 6/16/26 | ![]() Ciara Breen: The Open Window | In the early hours of Thursday, the 13th of February, 1997, 17-year-old Ciara Breen disappeared from her home on Bachelor’s Walk in Dundalk. Her bed was empty. The front window had been left open. There was no packed bag, no money missing, and nothing to suggest she had planned to stay away. At first, it looked like Ciara had slipped out quietly into the night, leaving herself a way back in. But what began as a missing person investigation would become something far more complex. Over the years that followed, Gardaí would follow rumours, witness accounts, public appeals and searches through difficult ground, as one question continued to haunt Ciara’s family and the town she vanished from. What happened after Ciara left that house?

His disappearance gripped the nation, changed how parents viewed their children’s safety, and left a family living with unanswered questions for nearly four decades.In this episode of Lines of Enquiry, John revisits one of Ireland’s most haunting missing person cases and asks what really happened to the boy who never came home.An Garda Síochána have told us the investigation into the disappearance of Philip Cairns remains active and ongoing. Gardaí are keen to speak to people who may have been young at the time Philip disappeared and not in a position to talk to them, but who may now feel able to come forward.
