• Court of Appeal upholds life sentence for manslaughter in Cork Manslaughter · Co. Cork

  Timothy Hourihane, a 53-year-old man from west Cork, was found with serious injuries near a tent at Mardyke Walk in Cork city in the early hours of 13 October 2019 and died in hospital shortly afterwards. He had been attacked by James Brady, 29, and Christopher O'Sullivan, 40, at a tented village for homeless people, in an assault that witnesses said was motivated by the victim being gay. Brady was arrested in December 2019, charged with murder, and found guilty of manslaughter by a jury in March 2022; he was sentenced to 11 years in April 2022. O'Sullivan pleaded guilty to manslaughter in November 2022 and was sentenced to life in prison in March 2023. The Court of Appeal upheld O'Sullivan's life sentence in April 2026.
