  • Posthumous pardons signed for two men hanged for 1882 Kerry murder Murder · Co. Kerry

    Thomas Browne was shot several times while working in his field in Dromulton near Scartaglin, Co Kerry, on 3 October 1882. Sylvester Poff, 35, and his cousin James Barrett, 21, were arrested following a statement by a neighbour and convicted of murder after a second trial in December 1882. Both men were hanged at Tralee Gaol in January 1883. In October 2024, President Michael D Higgins officially signed posthumous presidential pardons for Poff and Barrett after an expert review found the convictions unsafe.
