State must pay costs in landmark female genital mutilation case (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The State must pay a coupleâs costs in their successful application to have their wrongful conviction for the female genital mutilation (FGM) of their one-year-old daughter declared a miscarriage of justice. Their trial was the first of its kind in Ireland and was the subject of an RTÃ documentary late last year. The parents spent two years in prison before their convictions were quashed on appeal in 2021. A miscarriage of justice certificate was granted by the Court of Appeal last month. Jud
Garda killer Aaron Brady has sentence for recording witness interview increased (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Garda killer Aaron Brady, who showed âcontemptâ 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 (DPP) had argued that the case raised an important issue of âprincipleâ rather than one of practical consequence, as Brady (35) is already serving a life sentence for the murder of Det Garda Adrian Donohoe.

Read excerpt
A murderer who bragged he punched his victim âlike Conor McGregorâ has argued his trial jury should not have heard the reference as it brought âa degree of baggageâ which indicated âtoxic masculinityâ. Maurice Bolandâs lawyers submitted that while his trial was taking place, McGregor was involved in much publicised civil proceedings in the High Court in which a jury ultimately found him civilly liable for the rape of Nikita Hand. They said that while the jury was considering the fa

Read excerpt
James Kilroy, who is serving a life sentence for the murder of his wife, will have his appeal against conviction heard early next year.

Kilroy had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. A jury rejected his claim that he was insane when he beat, stabb
