Who is the American drifter questioned over Michael Gaine's murder?
Kerry farmer
Michael Gaine's disappearance on March 20th
was first treated as a missing person's case.
Soon, though, it was upgraded to a murder investigation as gardaí explored multiple lines of inquiry in their attempts to find a body.
Partial human remains were found on May 16th and subsequently confirmed to be those of Gaine. The discovery shone a new, disturbing light on the case. The 56-year-old had been dismembered,
with his body parts deposited into the silage pit on his farm
.
One line of inquiry involved Michael Kelley, an American who lived and worked on Gaine's 1,000-acre farm for the past three years.

Kelley
has identified himself to the media
and confirmed he was arrested and questioned in relation to Gaine's murder. He was released without charge.
So, who is he and what was he doing in Kerry? How did he come to live and work on the Gaine farm? And why is he giving interviews?

Crews 'expendable' in massive cocaine smuggling operation, court hears
A Ukrainian man who spoke no English had serious concerns about the seaworthiness of a boat being used in a €157m cocaine smuggling operation. Gardaí had been watching Vitaliy Lapa, aged 62, and Jamie Harbron, aged 31, since they entered Ireland to embark on a drug-trafficking plot for a major organised crime group. However, they claimed they did not know what they were about to undertake, or the power of the organised crime group who would direct the operation — and leave them for dead — in stormy seas off Wexford. Ukrainian national Lapa, with an address at Rudenka, Repina St, in Berdyansk, and Harbron, aged 31, of South Ave, Billingham in the UK, pleaded guilty to attempting to possess cocaine for sale or supply between September 21 and 25, 2023. They are two of eight men who have pleaded guilty to their involvement in a drug smuggling plot in which 2.25 tonnes of cocaine — the largest seizure in the history of the State — was found on the Panamanian-registered MV Matthew, a 190m long, 32m wide bulk cargo ship off the Cork coast. The record €157m haul of drugs seized from the 'mother ship', the MV Matthew in 2023. The 'daughter ship' was intended to be the Castlemore, a trawler purchased in Castletownbere, Co Cork, the court heard. File picture: An Garda Síochána Russia's invasion of Ukraine had pushed Lapa, a retired fishing captain, back out to work at sea to provide for his family. The conflict had imposed great financial pressures on his family, his counsel Colman Cody told the three-judge Special Criminal Court. People with vulnerabilities — most often addiction or financial problems — are often before the courts, he said. Fisherman told he would be paid €5,000 Lapa said he was told he would be paid €5,000, which 'considering the largesse from this enterprise, was a very paltry sum' for the risks of involvement, Mr Cody said. His English had been 'non-existent' when he came to Ireland in 2023 and he waited in hotels in Dublin and Newry for instructions from the organised crime group. He had been hired for his seafaring experience, the court heard. Concerns about Castlemore's seaworthiness However, when he viewed the fishing trawler, the Castlemore, in Castletownbere, West Cork, with a person of interest to gardaí, on September 21, 2023, he said he had concerns about the boat — believing its engine speed and capacity was insufficient, and unable to go above 10 knots. His concerns were ignored and the boat was bought. From the time it set sail, Lapa and Harbron met adversity, the court heard. English man on 'lowest rung' of operation Harbron had suffered addiction issues, the Special Criminal Court heard. He was 'the lowest rung' of the drug smuggling operation, his counsel Michael O'Higgins said. He was the first person to plead guilty and this may have been of value in other pleas forthcoming, Mr O'Higgins said. 'His role was very supine,' he said. He bought his own ferry ticket from Britain to Ireland on his own debit card just two days before departing on the Castlemore. He had no boating experience and claimed not to know what contraband the boat would carry, although he suspected it was drugs. The first time he became aware of its 'gargantuan size' was when he was on the Castlemore, he said. There was a clear 'difference between those pulling the strings and those on the end of the string' in this operation, Mr O'Higgins said. Harbron left school at age 14 with no GCSEs. He is a man without means, with no home or car, Mr O'Higgins said. He developed addiction issues, consuming cocaine, cannabis, and alcohol, and ran up a significant drug debt. His actions on the Castlemore were to pay off €10,000 of a €20,000 drug debt, the court heard. Once the pair hit rough weather off Wexford and subsequently ran aground, Harbron thought he was going to die. 'Notwithstanding the very serious risk to their lives, they were specifically instructed not to contact the Coast Guard,' Mr O'Higgins said. They were then given a hasty cover story by the organised crime gang directing the operation. The gang's treatment of the two men showed how 'expendable' they were, the court heard. The Castlemore was to be the 'daughter ship' to collect drugs from the MV Matthew as the 'mother ship'. 'These idiots were late again' While the MV Matthew and Castlemore were trying to meet off the Irish coast in increasingly stormy weather, growing frustration was shown by the captain on messaging apps with the men crewing the daughter ship, John Berry, prosecuting, said. He complained of how 'these idiots were late again'. He also expressed concern about the worsening weather, saying a drop-off would be impossible in the growing swell. On September 24, 2023, the Castlemore ran aground and its crew was recused by Irish authorities; they were winched off the boat before being arrested. When the MV Matthew heard that SOS call over the radio that night, they devised a plan to put the drugs in a lifeboat with Cumali Ozgen, who the court heard was the 'eyes and ears' of the cartel in Dubai, and lower them to sea, but this never happened. The Panamanian-registered cargo vessel the MV Matthew berthed at Marino Point in Cork Harbour in 2023 after the largest cocaine seizure in the history of the State. File picture: Dan Linehan Captain Soheil Jelveh then called for a medical evacuation, being winched off the ship by the Irish coastguard and taken to hospital — bringing four phones, more than $50,000 in cash, and two suitcases. He was later arrested in hospital. Meanwhile, the ship was trying to escape Irish territorial waters. They wrongly believed they could not be boarded by Irish authorities in international waters and planned to go to Sierra Leone for safety. The MV Matthew repeatedly tried to evade the naval vessel LÉ William Butler Yeats which was in hot pursuit, ignoring its instructions and attempting to burn the drugs aboard despite multiple warning shots. Elite army rangers then abseiled down from a helicopter onto the MV Matthew in dangerous conditions and seized the ship. Six of its crew would later plead guilty to involvement. Ukrainians Mykhailo Gavryk, and Vitaliy Vlasoi, both aged 32; Iranians Soheil Jelveh, aged 51, and Saeid Hassani, aged 39; Filipino Harold Estoesta, aged 31, and Dutch national Cumali Ozgen, aged 49, all pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine for sale or supply on board the MV Mathew between September 24 and 26 of 2023. Ms Justice Melanie Grealy has set sentencing for all eight men on July 4.

Suggestions for solving the housing crisis
Sir, – Building on Pat Leahy's excellent observation that the Government's response to the housing crisis is barely at the mildly urgent level ( 'Housing emergency? Ireland is not even acting at the level of mildly urgent' , June 2nd), may I suggest a suitable response that addresses the supply side issues currently faced? 1) All Ministers, civil servants, planners, and local authority heads involved in the planning process and the delivery of critical infrastructure such as water and electricity – as well as TDs, Senators and local councillors who make representations on behalf of objectors in their constituency, members of the judiciary who make planning decisions, serial objectors and owners of derelict properties – to be made homeless and put on the housing waiting list. 2) Keep the above on the waiting list until the housing crisis is marked as 'solved'. Perhaps this might focus minds accordingly. All without the need to offer someone ¤450,000 per annum. – Yours, etc, READ MORE RORY J WHELAN, Drogheda, Co Meath.

Two bunches of flowers lie outside Fairgreen Shopping Centre following ‘terrible' fatal shooting
The marks of a concentrated number of shots can be seen in the 'o' of the Tesco sign at Fairgreen Shopping Centre in Co Carlow. Outside the premises, two bunches of flowers have been laid close to where gunman Evan Fitzgerald died on Sunday evening. The busy centre was the scene of chaos and fear, when at 6.15pm, as shoppers filled their trolleys for the week ahead, the 22-year-old, from Kiltegan, Co Wicklow, entered carrying a shotgun. He discharged shots into the air a number of times, causing shoppers to flea. Outside the building, he fatally wounded himself after being challenged by gardaí. No one else was shot during the incident. On Wednesday, Geraldine Nolan (64), who regularly shops at the Tesco, sat in a coffee shop in the centre with her five-month-old grandson on her lap. READ MORE [ Carlow gunman Evan Fitzgerald had bail conditions relaxed prior to trial date Opens in new window ] She was 'shocked' by the 'terrible' events that occurred here days earlier, she says. She is mindful of the effect witnessing the shooting will have on people working in the centre at the time and glad workers and customers were not seriously injured. Her thoughts too are with the deceased, she said, : 'It's hard on his family too.' Her daughter Vanessa (33) is also coming to terms with the shock what occurred in their locality. 'You don't expect something like that to happen in a small town. It's not something that's normalised,' she says. John Brophy, manager of the centre, says uncertainty pervaded in the aftermath of the shooting and it was 'very hard to know what was going on'. However, gardaí, fire services and bomb squad were 'exemplary in the way they conducted themselves over the couple of days', he says. At the time of the incident, Tesco was the only shop still open in the centre, he says. [ Carlow gunman Evan Fitzgerald (22) had 'a fascination with firearms' Opens in new window ] He is mindful that security staff, Tesco employees and customers witnessed the shooting. The deceased young man and his family are also in his thoughts, and he is keen that they are 'respected', he says. Counselling is being provided to the Tesco employees and the centre's security staff. In Carlow town's Primary Care Centre, the Health Service (HSE) has implemented a counselling service for the public to avail of in the aftermath of the event. A HSE representative said the service has been 'busy'.
