Six accused of murder of Thomas ‘Tom’ Dooley at funeral in Tralee in October 2022
Patrick Dooley , brother of the late Thomas 'Tom' Dooley, with an address at Arbutus Grove, Killarney, has pleaded not guilty to murdering the 43 year old at Rath Cemetery in Tralee on October 5th, 2022. He is one of six accused of murdering the father-of-seven.
The trial has heard that the deceased suffered a total of four stabbing injuries following the attack in the Kerry graveyard, one of which severed the femoral artery in his leg and caused him to suffer a fatal blood loss. The barrister added: “His purpose in being there was because others were attacking his brother, his flesh and blood and he went to his aid to try and help him. And he has mistakenly, whether unintentionally or intentionally, been cast as one of the attackers in this case.”
In his closing address, Brian McInerney SC, defending Daniel Dooley, referred to the case of Harry Gleeson who was wrongfully convicted of murder in 1941 and hanged, when he was an entirely innocent man.
