Sinead O'CarrollHOST
While there was significant coverage through those intervening decades, it was the global nature of the second captain's BBC podcast, Where is George Gibney, which was the real catalyst for new victims to come forward so a fresh case could be taken.
Sinead O'CarrollHOST
So we are delighted today to be joined by our second Second Captains appearance on the 42FM, Mark Horgan, producer and presenter of that podcast.
Sinead O'CarrollHOST
Where is George Gibney? Thanks for joining us.
Mark HorganGUEST
Thanks,

Sinead O'CarrollHOST
You're a sports journalist and, you know, the founder and producer of the Second Captains, which is predominantly sports.
Sinead O'CarrollHOST
I know there is like often a crossover, which is the whole point of this podcast.
Sinead O'CarrollHOST
But take me back to before 2020 and how the this story landed on your desk.
Kev PogorzelskiHOST
See, I always think I was unaware that it was Hitler's hometown.
Conor ClancyHOST
It's funny 'cause I was listening to the excellent Second Captains podcast on the day that I saw you post from being there, and they had mentioned...
Conor ClancyHOST
Because Ireland are going there I think next month.
Kev PogorzelskiHOST
They are.

John GunniganHOST
And, and I think, uh, we did the Dublin launch of the book, uh, proud in the same way as, as, uh, we did the Castlebar one.
Rob MurphyHOST
Coming up on the pod today, you're gonna hear from friend of the podcast, Ciarán Murphy, from Second Captains, who came down to the launch.
Rob MurphyHOST
Absolutely jam-packed, uh, Books Upstairs.
Rob MurphyHOST
It was downstairs, uh, as often probably gets joked about, um, in this fantastic bookstore.
10 MINS LATER
Rob MurphyHOST
I think they're gonna do it." So Kieran can take a victory lap on our pod that day.
Rob MurphyHOST
All right.
Rob MurphyHOST
Like, we'll break into this chat with, uh, a conversation with Ciarán Murphy from Second Captains, uh, at Books Upstairs, in the basement of Books Upstairs, uh, [laughs] after we had done the official launch.
John GunniganHOST
We never got upstairs, Rob.
Eoin McDevittHOST
As his guard and minder backed out the door, he turned Gibney to navigate a corner, showing to the body of the court for the first time, the white letters on the side of his wheelchair, "Property of the Irish Prison Service".
Eoin McDevittHOST

Eoin McDevittHOST
Hey, Murf.
Mark HorganGUEST
Hey, Eoghan.
Eoin McDevittHOST
Yeah
Mark HorganGUEST
...
Mark HorganGUEST
so, um, it's just funny thinking about when we started the project, and we started discussing this thing, and that, you know, we did this initial podcast on Second Captains about Gibney, and the, I think that was early 2018, late 2017.
Eoin McDevittHOST
Mm.
Alan KellyHOST
This was an entirely different set of allegations that were brought forward that resulted in the sentence today.
Alan KellyHOST
Uh, the reason victims came forward was because of a BBC podcast made by Second Captains, Where is George Gibney?, prompting four victims to come forward.
Alan KellyHOST
They gave statements to Gardaí.
Alan KellyHOST
It sparked a fresh investigation, and justice was served today.
Bernice HarrisonHOST
That, of course, was the podcast.
Bernice HarrisonHOST
It's called Where Is George Gibney? It was made by Second Captains.
Bernice HarrisonHOST
They're the podcast group based in Dublin, and it was released by the BBC.

I don't know how far those sounds away from here are from here, but you can hear the police helicopters and then you can hear the police sirens quite a bit around here at this time, can't you? Yeah.

Hey, fellas.
Jamie O'HaraCORRESPONDENT
Ms. Morrow said, "It's important to recognize that although, although another case against George Gibney in the early '90s didn't proceed, it doesn't mean those abuses didn't happen." And echoing what Orla Poole just said there, uh, outside court, she said, "A key message is that there is no statute of limitations for the criminal prosecution of child sex abuse, and there is no such thing as too long ago." Then also, she, uh, i- in a quote, she said, "The conviction and sentencing is down to the endurance of determination of the survivors, the swimming community, and all their family and friends.
Jamie O'HaraCORRESPONDENT
We also recognize the podcast series, Where Is George Gibney?, released in 2020 by the podcasting team in Second Captains", and she described it as, "A very dogged and painstaking researched piece of radio."
Shane ColmanHOST
Uh, it's the end, Jamie, finally, of a, a prolonged and dramatic fall from grace for this one-time well-respected swimming coach.
Jamie O'HaraCORRESPONDENT
Absolutely, it is, Shane, and Judge Micheál O'Higgins mentioned it in his mitigation.
