Wife of Thomas Dooley gives evidence at murder trial

They include Mr Dooley's brother and three of his first cousins.

Mr Dooley died when he was attacked as he attended a funeral in Tralee, Co Kerry on 5 October, 2022, and suffered what the prosecution described as savage injuries, inflicted by a group acting with focused and murderous ferocity. Before the court are: 36-year-old Patrick Dooley of 33 Arbutus Grove, Killarney, Co Kerry, a brother of the deceased; 43-year-old Thomas Dooley senior and 21-year-old Thomas Dooley Junior, both of Bay 10, Halting Site, Carrigrohane Road, Cork; 29-year-old Michael Dooley of Bay 11, Halting Site, Carrigrohane Road, Cork; and 42-year-old Daniel Dooley, of An Caraigín, Connolly Park, Tralee, County Kerry.

Today, lawyers for some of the accused put it to Siobhán Dooley that she was taking a"spray paint" approach to all of them. Senior Counsel Ray Boland, for Michael Dooley, said she was effectively saying she was not in a position to identify everyone present, and that she accepted that she identified one man - who is not charged with any offence - as being involved, even though it was certain that he was not there.Mr Boland put it to Siobhán Dooley that she had a hatred of the Dooleys from the Carrigrohane Road in Cork, arising out of what had happened, and that she wanted to get revenge on all of the Dooleys.
