Beskrivelse

A jury has convicted Daniel Hourigan, 33, of murdering 61-year-old Michael Foley in his Macroom home in February — a case that unfolded over ten harrowing hours of deliberation. Hourigan claimed his then-partner was the killer, saying he found her at the scene and tried to protect her. But prosecutors countered with damning evidence: inconsistent statements to police, CCTV showing him leaving with the murder weapon — later dumped on a bus — and his palm print at the scene. The pathologist revealed Foley suffered fatal stab and slash wounds, including a collapsed lung and massive blood loss. Described by the prosecution as a compassionate man who helped others, Foley’s death shocked the community. Hourigan, remanded in custody, faces sentencing on July 30th, while the jury is excused for five years. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Firefighters Adapt as Wind Shifts Blaze | Limerick News

Firefighters are making progress on the Slievenamon wildfire in Co. Tipperary, especially on the southern flank, but a sudden wind shift late Thursday night has redirected the blaze to the northeastern side. Crews are now battling the new front as smoke drifts toward eastern communities—especially those with respiratory sensitivities. With rain forecasted for the weekend, hope is growing that the fire can finally be brought under control, thanks to the relentless efforts of emergency teams adapting to shifting conditions.

Hosepipe Ban Hits Nationwide | Limerick News

A nationwide hosepipe ban is now in effect until August 26th, as water reserves strain under a recent warm spell and lack of rain—Uisce Éireann urges everyone to cut back on non-essential uses like lawn watering, car washing, kiddie pools, and fountains. While cooler weather and rain are forecasted, conservation remains critical. Businesses like car washes are exempt due to their water-efficient systems. Every drop counts—be smart with your water now. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Truck Driver Sentenced for Inciting Hatred | Limerick News

A truck driver named Graham Carey is set to be sentenced today after being found guilty of inciting hatred during a fiery January livestream where he called refugees “rape-ugees,” threatened violence, and rallied crowds to storm a garda station — all despite the alleged assault that sparked the protests not involving any migrants. Self-represented and defiant, Carey claimed he was a political prisoner and even accused a police witness of negligence, but evidence proved he was driving in the jurisdiction and led protesters to the station. With a history of public order offenses and a delayed sentencing due to his search for legal counsel, Carey now faces up to two years in prison or a €10,000 fine.
