Man appears in court charged with murder of 71-year-old Michael Hayes
A man has appeared in court charged with the murder of Michael Hayes following an assault in Limerick city. Philip Ambrose, 43, of no fixed abode, appeared before a special sitting of Limerick District Court on Saturday night. Garda Aoife Quinn told the court she arrested Mr Ambrose at Henry Street Garda Station at 6.35pm on Saturday, for the purpose of charging him. She said Mr Ambrose made no reply when charged with the murder of 71-year-old Michael Hayes. Gardaí and emergency services found Mr Hayes in a critical condition at St Michael's Court in the Watergate area of Limerick city at around 11.30pm on Thursday. He sustained serious head injuries and was taken to University Hospital Limerick, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. Mr Ambrose's solicitor, Turlough Herbert, told the court that he was not applying for bail. The solicitor explained in court that the question of bail did not arise as bail applications in respect of a murder charge can only be made before the High Court. Judge Alec Gabbett granted Mr Ambrose's application for free legal aid after Mr Herbert told the court the accused is in receipt of disability allowance. Mr Ambrose was remanded in custody to appear in court again via video link next Tuesday, July 15. The court also ordered that he undergo medical care and psychiatric evaluation in prison.

Game Changer 'Activation Day' to take place at Croke Park
Croke Park's All-Ireland semi final crowd will be the audience for a pitch-side interview with Jason Poole, whose sister Jennifer was murdered by her former partner in 2021, as part of a GAA initiative. This GAA first is part of the collaborative 'Game Changer' initiative which aims to challenge the social norms that contribute to domestic, sexual and gender-based violence, and highlight how male allyship and positive role modelling can help. The interview will be transmitted on the stadium's screens at half time, as Donegal and Meath go head-to-head, vying for a place at the All-Ireland Football Final. It is one of a number of 'Game Changer' events taking place as part of today's Senior semi final and Junior Championship Final in Croke Park. Donegal footballer Oisín Gallen, who will be playing in today's semi final is also a Game Changer ambassador and he will feature in a video that will also be played on the stadium's screens throughout the day. "There's incredible encouragement in the GAA on the pitch to back up your teammate and to leave no man behind," Mr Gallen said. "That should be the same when you're calling out gender-based violence. If it was racism or if it was any other type of abuse, I'm sure there'd be a lot of people who'd be standing up to call out what's wrong, so it shouldn't be any different when it comes to gender-based violence." The Game Changer initiative is being done by the GAA, in partnership with Ruhama, an organisation that supports women who have been sexually exploited and White Ribbon Ireland, which encourages men and boys to act against domestic, sexual and gender-based violence. It is also supported by the Ladies Gaelic Football Association (LGFA) and the Camogie Association. The initiative started in November 2024, but today has been billed as Game Changer Activation Day, with the series of events at Croke Park taking place, while a new website will also go live. A nationwide advertising campaign will begin tomorrow. Jason Poole's sister Jennifer was 24 when she was murdered by her former partner Gavin Murphy in 2021. She was a mother of two. Mr Murphy had a history of violence against women and was previously jailed for two years for attacking a former partner and her mother with a knife in 2015. Mr Poole and his family have campaigned for a number of years for the establishment of a domestic violence register. Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan has committed to enacting legislation in Jennifer Poole's name, Jennie's Law, that would establish such a register.
