Mum of murdered champ has raised arguable claim on victims rights, High Court finds
Stage: Sentence
Outcome: In her action, Ms Tully seeks an order preventing Logan Jackson, who is serving a life sentence in Limerick Prison for Mr Sheehy's murder, from being repatriated back to England. She also claims that the Minister's decision is unconstitutional and an "abdication of the Irish State's responsibility to determine when a person serving a life sentence may be paroled." Lawyers representing both the Minister and Jackson, who is a notice party to the proceedings, had opposed the application for leave and had argued that Ms Tully's action should have been dismissed.
