Best known as 'The Viper', Martin Foley has long been established, as one of Ireland's career criminals.

From debt collection to jewellery theft and even a suspected art heist, he has decades of crimes under his belt.

The Dubliner has even survived five assassination attempts.

Now aged in his 70s, Foley appeared before Wexford Circuit Criminal Court earlier this year on a public order charge. He admitted threatening and abusive behaviour and was given an unusual punishment in the form of a barring order from Wexford town for the period of 12 months.

Indo Daily host Kevin Doyle is joined by Conor Feehan, news correspondent with the Irish Independent, to discuss the self-described ‘ordinary decent criminal’ Martin 'The Viper' Foley.
