Seachtain: Kneecap - Mo Chara sa chúirt agus legal ‘dream team' leis
Tá sé curtha ina leith gur thaispeáin sé brat Hezbollah agus é ar stáitse i Londain, agus go raibh sé sin ina chomhartha tacaíochta don eagraíocht thoirmiscthe. D'fhoilsigh Kneecap ráiteas ar na meáin shóisialta inar shéan siad go ndearnadh aon choir agus gheall siad go ndéanfaidís cosaint ar 'a gcearta' go fíochmhar. Thug siad le fios gur 'ionsaí polaitiúil' é seo ón stát Bhriotanach atá dírithe orthusan mar 'ealaíontóirí ó phobal faoi chois'. Ar Seachtain, míníonn an t-iriseoir Ciarán Dunbar cad a thit amach inniu, taobh istigh den chúirt agus taobh amuigh de.

Calls made to recognise Elizabeth Plunkett as a legal victim of Ireland's first serial killers
THE CASE OF Elizabeth Plunkett, the 23-year-old victim of Ireland's first serial killers, was raised today in the Dáil following the publication of a new podcast on her murder. Elizabeth's family are seeking a cold case review into her death. A new RTÉ podcast narrated by Roz Purcell was recently released which examines the 1970s murder. In 1976, Elizabeth, from Ringsend, was murdered by Ireland's first serial killers, John Shaw and Geoffrey Evans. The pair then killed a second woman, Mary Duffy. Shaw was convicted of Mary Duffy's murder but was never convicted of Elizabeth's. Elizabeth's sisters are now continuing their long fight for justice for their sister and want gardaí to open a cold case review and legally recognise them as victims. Raising the matter in the Dáil today, Labour leader Ivana Bacik noted that the pair, Kathleen and Bernadette, are not regarded as victims of the Parole Board, an issue that came to light in 2023. Advertisement She asked the Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, to rectify this issue and help bring some closure to the family. Responding to Bacik, the Taoiseach said he will ask the Minister for Justice to deal directly with her and with Elizabeth's family in an effort to bring closure. The killers In 1976, Englishmen John Shaw and Geoffrey Evans set out to rape and murder women in Ireland. The two men had fled to this island after being released from prison in the UK. According to Stephen Rae's book, Killers: Murders in Ireland, the two men were subject of a manhunt by British forces in connection with the rape of three girls, one of whom was the 16-year-old daughter of a police officer. They soon came to the attention of the authorities here and were up in court for a number of crimes including burglary. Shaw, already a father of three children at this point, had a string of convictions against him. He was previously imprisoned for attempted rape as well as for indecently assaulting a young boy. His partner in crime Geoffrey Evans, a father of two, also had a remarkable rap sheet. In 1975, Shaw was imprisoned for 18 months for burglary, while Evans served just three weeks. Upon their release in 1976, the two began to plan how they would go about finding, raping and murdering women. The two men would go on to abduct, torture, rape and murder, Elizabeth Plunkett (22) and Mary Duffy (24) in Wicklow and Mayo later that year.

Supervisor to be appointed to Tipperary cemetery where ‘monstrous' headstones have been erected
Councillors raised issues with anti-social behaviour at Cormac's Cemetery in Cashel at last month's Municipal District meeting, with one councillor saying that 'monstrous' headstones were being erected at nighttime to avoid detection. Speaking to the Irish Independent at the time, Cashel councillor Liam Browne said that Tipperary County Council's burial ground by-laws weren't being enforced. "We have Tipperary County Council burial by-laws and to be quite frank, what I said at the meeting was that they're being ignored. "They're not just being ignored by the people putting up the headstones, which are out of size and scale for what they should be, but they're also being ignored by the council who should be policing the headstones that go in, and once they go in, there seems to be an acceptance by the council that there's nothing they can do about it,' Cllr Browne said. Now, as a result of ongoing issues at the graveyard, Tipperary County Council have confirmed that a full-time graveyard supervisor will be appointed to patrol both Cormac's Cemetery in Cashel and St Michael's Cemetery in Tipperary town. "As part of improving the experience at the Cemetery, and in discussions with the council, we have now been informed that a full time graveyard supervisor will be appointed, who will divide their time between Cormac's Cemetery and St Michael's in Tipperary town,' Cllr Browne said in a post on social media. "As people are aware, there have been many issues that need to be dealt with at Cormac's Cemetery, and it is something I feel is hugely important to get to the bottom of,' he added. It is hoped that the appointment of the graveyard supervisor will address issues of anti-social behaviour, as well as enabling people with mobility issues to use the graveyard more easily. "We will now be able to get the gates open at certain times, where people will be able to get in to visit their loved ones graves,' Cllr Browne said. "It won't happen immediately as there are some other issues to get sorted out first, but it's a good step in the right direction,' the Cashel-based councillor added.
