Michael Poole, a 65-year-old man, was unanimously convicted by a jury of 14 counts of raping and eight counts of indecently assaulting his niece Lisa Brown, a 52-year-old woman, in their family home in Finglas West, Dublin, between 1980 and 1988 when she was aged seven to 14. The victim attempted to report the abuse to gardai on two occasions but was rebuffed. Poole pleaded guilty to 27 counts of indecent assault but denied the rape charges, and the trial took place in February 2026 at the Central Criminal Court. In March 2026, Mr Justice Patrick McGrath sentenced Poole to 12 years in prison, with a headline sentence of 14 years, the final two years suspended and backdated for time in custody.
