Cases
latest first- Supreme Court dismisses appeal in Dublin publication restrictions case Breach of publication restrictions (Children Act 2001) · Co. Dublin
Three people were charged with breaching publication restrictions under the Children Act 2001 after identifying two boys convicted of murdering 14-year-old Ana Kriégel at a disused farmhouse in Lucan, Dublin, in May 2018. Edel Doherty, 48, Kyle Rooney, 26, and Declan Corcoran, 30, were among 10 charged with similar breaches. A jurisdictional dispute over whether the cases should be tried in the District Court or Circuit Court went through the High Court, Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court. In November 2024, the Supreme Court unanimously dismissed the three accused's appeal, confirming they will be tried before a jury in the Circuit Court.
In court, 18 Jul 2022Accused · 5 reports - Appeal court upholds Circuit Court venue for Children Act cases in Dublin Breach of the Children Act (identifying child offenders) · Co. Dublin
Edel Doherty, 48, Kyle Rooney, 26, and Declan Corcoran, 30, were charged in Dublin with breaching publication restrictions under the Children Act 2001 by posting photos or naming the teenage boys convicted of murdering Ana Kriegel in 2018. In October 2020 a District Court judge accepted jurisdiction, but on 2 December 2020 Judge John Hughes ruled the offences were too serious for the District Court and should be heard in the Circuit Court. The three brought a successful judicial review in the High Court in July 2022, which sent the matter back for reconsideration. In November 2023 the Court of Appeal overturned the High Court ruling, upholding the District Court judge's decision that the cases should be heard in the Circuit Court.
