Court hears murder accused ‘upset and quite hurt’ about former lover’s new relationship
In mid-September Dr Hanrahan received a phone call from the counseller and as a result of what he heard he prescribed mirtazapine, an anti-depressant, to Mr Quirke. He said he primarily prescribed the drug to help Mr Quirke’s sleep which was disturbed.
They had a long consultation during which Mr Quirke told the doctor that he had been having an affair with Mary Lowry, his wife’s sister-in-law, which was a source of stress and upset to him. From what Mr Quirke told him, the doctor believed that the relationship had at that point come to an end because she had started a relationship with another man.
