As the Central Criminal Court prepared to resume following vacation in September 2021, several high-profile cases were scheduled for hearing over the following court year. The trial of Lisa Smith, a former Irish Defence Forces member, was set for January 2022 at the Special Criminal Court on charges of membership in Islamic State and financing terrorism, with proceedings expected to run for twelve weeks. A separate case involving allegations of triple murder in south Dublin was scheduled for June 2022 and anticipated to last five weeks. At the Special Criminal Court, two men faced trial in April 2022 for the murder of teenager Keane Mulready Woods, whose remains were discovered at multiple locations across Dublin and Drogheda in early 2020. The trial of a man accused of murdering a County Galway pensioner was set for January 2022, expected to extend eight weeks. An appeal by a convicted teenager in connection with the death of Ana Kriegel in Lucan was anticipated within the year.
