Tragedy, murder and justice - those are the three themes a gripping new podcast explores as it puts some of the biggest cases in Irish history under the microscope.
The weekly true-crime series, Shattered Lives, is produced by Reach plc - publishers of the Irish Mirror and Irish Daily Star.
The Star's chief reporter, Paul Healy, speaks to victims of some of the most unimaginable crimes possible, exploring some of the most notorious cases in Irish history.
We explore the details surrounding harrowing cases of crime - some solved, some unsolved and some unresolved - and how lives are ripped apart.
Shattered Lives also explores families' continued search for justice and how some cases have shaped laws right here in Ireland.
Paul said: "I want to thank the many incredible people that have agreed to speak to us for this important series.
"Shattered Lives shines a spotlight on victims of crime, giving them an opportunity to tell their stories, appeal for justice, and to remember their loved ones on a new platform.
"Some of the cases in this series are unsolved, while others remain unresolved.
"In each case, each family has a story to tell, and they want it to be heard.
“My hope is that the series not only highlights their cases, but also their genuine concerns about the Irish justice system, how it has let them down, and what can be done to protect victims and families of victims in the future."
