In the shortening days of an Irish winter, three young men find themselves in custody after gardaí moved on a house in County Meath, drawing closed a net woven across multiple counties and multiple golf clubs.

Operation Thor, now in its eighth year, reminds us that some threats are predictable enough to be met with patience and method rather than surprise.
