    In 2014, Denis Leahy, 56, knifed Rose Kenny 22 times as she walked to work at a creche, the blade passing through her larynx. Kenny spent seven weeks in hospital fighting for her life. Leahy was jailed for attempted murder and is due for release in early 2025. In October 2023, he was transferred from Arbour Hill to the Midlands prison after a mobile phone was found in his cell. His early release for good behaviour may now be revoked.
