Bail refused for man charged with murder of Noel Kirwan
Summary
A 26‑year‑old man, Jason Keating of Lower Main Street, Rush, was charged with the murder of Noel Kirwan, 62, outside Kirwan's house on St Ronan's Drive, Clondalkin, on 22 December 2016. He applied for bail in the High Court on 28 June 2017, but the State objected. Inspector Mark O'Neill argued that Keating would commit further offences if released and might not attend trial. Chief Superintendent Lorraine Wheatley also opposed bail under Section 2(A) of the Bail Act, citing the need to prevent serious offences. Judge Paul Butler rejected the application, and Keating was remanded in custody.
