Irish Child Killer Jerome Kavanagh Released After 30 Years Behind Bars

Jerome Kavanagh, one of Ireland's most notorious child killers, was released from Shelton Abbey Open Prison in Wicklow last week after serving more than three decades for a crime that shocked the nation. In February 1995, Kavanagh fatally cut the throat of five-year-old Ciaran Malone during a botched attempt to sexually assault the child's mother in their home in Caragh, County Kildare. The attack occurred on Saturday, February 11, when Kavanagh, wearing a balaclava to conceal his identity, forced his way into the neighboring Malone family home. In a letter read at his sentencing hearing in December 1995, Kavanagh confessed to murdering the child and stabbing his aunt during the failed attempt to assault Ciaran's mother, Mary. Judge Paul Carney made the unprecedented decision to have Kavanagh's confession letter read in court despite his guilty plea, stating, "It seems to […]

Human Skull Discovered in Garden During Home Renovation in Cork

GARDAร are investigating the discovery of what appear to be historic human remains in west Cork after a skull wrapped in plastic was unearthed during property development work. The discovery occurred outside the village of Eyeries, where a homeowner had been renovating her property and garden in recent weeks. Workers uncovered an old plastic shopping bag while using a mini excavator to level portions of the garden for installing a greenhouse intended for growing organic vegetables and herbs. Upon inspection, they were shocked to discover what appeared to be a human skull inside the bag. Authorities are uncertain whether the remains belong to an adult or a teenager, but they appear to have been there for a considerable period.

Minister Jack Chambers Questioned Over Past Planning Objections Despite Recent Housing Comments

Minister for Public Expenditure Jack Chambers, who recently criticized planning objections based on "character of an area" concerns, is facing scrutiny over his past objection to a development that included apartments. This week, Chambers announced measures to accelerate infrastructure delivery. He stated that objections based on neighborhood character are "nebulous" and block housing supply goals. He claimed there are "countless examples" of people trying to "frustrate" housing development for the "broad public good." However, records show that in 2016, Chambers objected to a mixed-use Lidl development in Castleknock that included eight apartments. As a local TD then, he argued the project would "compromise and constrain the aesthetic and visual outlook" of the village. During an An Bord Pleanala hearing in 2017, he reportedly described the development as a "monstrosity" that "puts an atomic bomb under the conservation area." In his […]
