latest first- Daniel Dooley loses appeal in Kerry funeral murder case Murder · Co. Kerry
Thomas Dooley, 43, was fatally stabbed and his wife Siobhán Dooley was seriously injured during an altercation at the funeral of Bridget O'Brien at Rathass Cemetery, Tralee, Co Kerry, on 5 October 2022. Six men, including the victim's brother Patrick Dooley and family cousins, were charged with murder and all were convicted by a jury at the Central Criminal Court in Cork in July 2024. The five adult defendants were sentenced to life imprisonment in July 2024, and the juvenile co-accused, who was 17 at the time of the offence, was sentenced to 11 years with three suspended in March 2025. The Court of Appeal dismissed Daniel Dooley's appeal in June 2026, upholding his conviction.
