latest first- Two brothers charged with assault causing harm in Kilkenny City Assault (stabbing) · Co. Kilkenny
A man in his late twenties was stabbed in the upper right arm at about 6.30am on 3 April 2023 at Lower New Street in Kilkenny City, and was taken by ambulance to St Luke's Hospital, where his injuries were reported as not life threatening. Three males were arrested that day and detained at Kilkenny Garda Station under section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984. On 4 April, brothers Ronan Quinn (18) and Cian Quinn (25) were charged with assault causing harm and production of an article capable of inflicting serious injury, and Cian Quinn was also charged with an unrelated theft. Judge Geraldine Carthy refused bail and remanded both men in custody, with their next appearance set for Carlow District Court on 5 April by video link.
In court, 4 Apr 2023Accused · 1 report - Kilkenny murder convict given day release ahead of parole hearing Murder · Co. Kilkenny
Mark Costigan, who was 16 at the time, knifed Christine Quinn, 36, to death at her home at Greenfields, Kilkenny city, on 5 December 2002. She was stabbed 35 times and sustained 69 knife injuries, and Costigan set three fires at the house to destroy evidence. A jury convicted him of murder two years later and he was sentenced to life in prison. He is held at Mountjoy jail in Dublin, having had a previous temporary release in 2020. His son Ronan Quinn called a recent day release for Costigan to visit family in Kilkenny a slap in the face, and a parole hearing is scheduled for next month.
