This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Kieran Greene’s murder conviction appeal was dismissed by the Court of Appeal, reported on 11 November 2022.

The appeal court said the trial judge was right not to leave provocation to the jury, finding no basis for that defence in the trial evidence. It also upheld the jury options of murder, not guilty, or manslaughter, and rejected an accessory-to-murder verdict as not viable. Greene received the mandatory life sentence for murder in February 2020.
