Cases
latest first- Murphy sentenced for assault causing harm at Wheatfield Prison Assault causing harm · Co. Laois
Laurence Murphy, 44, a Dublin man, headbutted and repeatedly punched prison officer Kieran Maher at Wheatfield Prison on 10 July 2019. The attack left Maher with injuries to his nose, a bruised and swollen face, bleeding gums, trauma to his teeth, and back injuries, and he was out of work for ten months. Murphy, who was convicted of murdering Thomas Brady in Mountjoy Prison in 2002, pleaded guilty to assault causing harm. He was sentenced to three years in prison at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on 16 June 2022, the judge reducing a four-year term in light of the guilty plea.
Sentenced, 16 Jun 2022Convicted · 1 report - Tullamore fraud case adjourned for balance of compensation Fraud (obtaining money by false pretences) · Co. Offaly
Laurence Murphy, a man from Clonminch, Tullamore, pleaded guilty in November 2018 to obtaining up to €250,000 by false pretences when he posed as an agent for Savills Auctioneers and took money from two victims who believed they were buying land in Tullamore and Duleek, Co Meath. A six-and-a-half-year suspended sentence was imposed at Tullamore Circuit Court in November 2019, but sentencing was repeatedly adjourned as compensation was sought. In July 2021, Judge Keenan Johnson directed that the full balance be repaid by 12 October or Murphy would face six years in prison. In December 2021, €30,000 was transferred to the Offaly State Solicitor's account for the victim who suffered the biggest loss, and the case was adjourned to 21 December for the remaining €81,000.
