Garda murderer's 'contempt' for trial lands him with increased sentence (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Garda killer Aaron Brady, who showed "contempt" for his capital murder trial by secretly recording a garda interview with a potentially key witness, has had his three-year sentence increased following a successful appeal by the State. Lawyers for the Director of Public Prosecutions had argued that the case raised an important issue of “principle” rather than one of practical consequence, as Brady (35) is already serving a life sentence for the murder of Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe. However, t
Murderer claims reference to Conor McGregor brought 'toxic masculinity' baggage (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A murderer who bragged that he punched his vulnerable victim “like Conor McGregor” has argued that the trial jury should not have heard his reference to the mixed martial arts fighter, as his name brought “a degree of baggage” which was communicative of “toxic masculinity”.

The man, who cannot be named to protect
'Fishy' Fitzgerald abandons bid for freedom after getaway car conviction (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A violent offender who provided the getaway cars used by an international drug smuggling gang in the attempted murder of Dublin criminal Gary Carey has withdrawn an appeal against his seven-year sentence after the Court of Appeal reminded him of the full range of its powers. In July 2025, Ms Justice Eileen Creedon at the Central Criminal Court sentenced Patrick 'Fishy' Fitzgerald (49) to seven years in prison. She ruled that this term of imprisonment should run consecutively to a seven and a hal
