Brother who sexually abused his three sisters while becoming priest jailed
Richard Brennan (64) was between 17 and 24 years old at time of the offending. Richard Brennan (64) previously of Rathfarnham, now living in the United States, pleaded guilty at the Central Criminal Court to 24 counts against his three sisters, including 18 of indecent assault and six charges of rape. He entered the guilty pleas after each of the three women had given evidence before a jury and before the final woman was about to be cross-examined. He pleaded guilty to four sample charges of indecent assault and four rape charges against Paula Faye on dates between January 1978 and December 1981 when she was aged between 13 and 17 years old. Richard Brennan. Pic: Brennan also pleaded guilty to 13 sample incidences of indecent assault and two charges of rape against a second sister, Catherine Wrightstone, on dates between June 1980 and December 1984 while she was aged between nine and 14 years old. He finally pleaded guilty to indecent against the oldest of the sisters, Yvonne Crist, when she was about 20 years old on dates between June 1979 and June 1980. Brennan was between 17 and 24 years old at time of the offending. Brennan has no previous convictions. He was ordained as a priest in 1989 and moved to the US, but later married and had a family. He returned from the US for questioning and the trial. Earlier this month, another brother Bernard Brennan, (67), formerly of Rathfarnham, Dublin, but most recently residing in the United States, was jailed for four and half years after he admitted to sexual abuse of both Yvonne Crist and Paula Faye. Richard Brennan pictured at the Criminal Courts of Justice (CCJ). Pic: News in 90 Seconds - Monday July 14th Bernard Brennan pleaded guilty to 11 counts of indecent assault in various locations within the State between 1972 and 1975. He has no previous convictions. Sentencing Richard Brennan today Mr Justice David Keane said it was heartening to hear the three women in victim impact statement describe themselves as survivors. The judge said the sisters had made the 'truly courageous' decision to report their brother's crimes to the gardaí. Mr Justice Keane said he had the most 'immense admiration' for the determination shown by the three women in bringing the case before the courts and hoped that they would get something from their brother's 'belated acceptances of guilt'. He wished them well for the future. Mr Justice Keane said the aggravating features of the case included the particularly young ages of both Ms Faye and Ms Wrightstone at the time of the abuse against them and the fact that the abuse occurred in a place where the sisters should have felt secure. Instead, Brennan created an environment of fear and confusion, he said. The judge also took into account the fact that there was a pattern of frequent assaults against the younger two sisters over a lengthy period of time and that Brennan was a seminarian at the time, with particular familial responsibilities to his younger sisters. Finally, Mr Justice Keane said there were three separate victims in the case who each have been psychologically damaged and that Brennan caused each of them significant harm. He set headline sentences of 12 years for the rapes committed against Ms Wrightstone, and headline sentences of 10 years for the rapes committed against Ms Faye. He set headline sentences of six years against the indecent assaults against Ms Wrightstone and headline sentences of 21 months and 18 months for the indecent assaults against Ms Faye and Ms Crist. Mr Justice Keane said he must take into consideration mitigation including what he said was a late plea entered on the ninth day of the trial. He acknowledged that Brennan has shown deep remorse and that he has apologised to each of his victim. Read more He said Brennan was also entitled to significant credit for his lack of previous convictions and the fact that he co-operated with gardaí. Mr Justice Keane said he accepted evidence that Brennan appears to have been present during some incidences of abuse carried out by his brother Bernard Brennan on both Ms Faye and Ms Crist. He said he was also taking into account the character evidence given during the sentence hearing by Brennan's wife and testimonials handed into court by a number of other people. Mr Justice Keane imposed a term of nine years for the rape offences carried out by Brennan against Ms Wrightstone. He imposed concurrent terms of seven and half years for the rape offences committed against Ms Faye and four and half years for the indecent assaults against Ms Wrightstone. He imposed further concurrent terms of 16 months and 14 months for the indecent assault offences committed against Ms Faye and Ms Crist. A global sentence of nine years was backdated to March 18 last when Brennan first went into custody. Mr Justice Keane noted that a report from the Probation Service indicated that Brennan is willing to engage with offence focused work as deemed suitable by them and said he must 'consider the prospect of rehabilitation' upon his ultimate release from prison. He suspended the final 12 months of the nine-year term on condition that Brennan engage with the Probation Service for a year upon his release. He did not impose a post release supervision order after acknowledging that Brennan intends to return to the States when he leaves Ireland.

Brian Cody set to miss jubilee celebration of his first All-Ireland win as manager
There are doubts Brian Cody will be in attendance at the celebration of Kilkenny's silver jubilee All-Ireland SHC winning team of 2000 in Croke Park on Sunday. The 11-time All-Ireland winning manager has been invited along with his panel, captained by Willie O'Connor, to commemorate the 25-year anniversary of their success against Offaly, the first time Cody guided Kilkenny to the Liam MacCarthy Cup. Since last year, managers have been introduced to the crowd along with their teams. The All-Ireland-winning bosses of 1999, Jimmy Barry-Murphy and Seán Boylan, received great acclaim at the 2024 games. However, sources close to those organising the gathering have said Cody is expected to be out of the country and therefore unable to attend. Apart from DJ Carey, who was man of the match in the victory over Offaly when he scored 1-4, at least one other 2000 All-Ireland winner is not expected to be able to be in attendance. Earlier this month, Carey pleaded guilty to 10 counts of deception between 2014 and 2022 and he will be sentenced in October. It is understood Carey's name will be read out but it is unlikely he will be represented by a family member as that practice of allowing a proxy when a former player is not in a position to take his place in the line-up in front of the Hogan Stand has been discontinued. In 2017, Jim McGuinness's young son Mark Anthony took his place in the county's jubilee ceremony as the current Donegal manager was working in China with soccer club Beijing Sinobo Guoan. However, there were no representatives of 1999 All-Ireland winners Pat Ryan and his selectors Wayne Sherlock and Brendan Coleman in last year's event when they were busy preparing the Cork team for the final against Clare later that afternoon. Led by captain O'Connor, the Kilkenny players of 2000 are organising a golf event in Callan Golf Club on Monday to raise funds for the costs associated with the event. This is the first of 11 jubilee events over the next 15 years.

Man accused of attempted murder of Dillon Gilligan pleads guilty to lesser charge
Ryan Craig entered guilty pleas to the lesser offences of dangerous driving causing serious bodily harm and endangermen A 25-year-old man previously charged with attempted murder has pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing serious bodily harm and endangerment to Dillon Gilligan in Clondalkin last year. Ryan Craig, of Shancastle Drive, Clondalkin had been charged with the attempted murder of Mr Gilligan at Cloverhill Road, Clondalkin on October 20, 2024. However, at the Central Criminal Court today, Craig entered guilty pleas to the lesser offences of dangerous driving causing serious bodily harm and endangerment. Michael Hourican SC, for the Director of Public Prosecutions, told the court that Craig could be arraigned on counts two and three on the indictment on a full facts basis. He said a trial date of February 9 previously set in respect of count one - an attempted murder charge - could be vacated. Craig appeared before the court today where he confirmed his name and replied 'guilty' to the charge that on October 20, 2024 at Cloverhill Road, Clondalkin, Dublin 22, he drove a vehicle in a manner - including speed - which having regard to all the circumstances of the case - including the condition of the vehicle; the nature, condition and use of the vehicle; the nature, condition and use of such a place in which it was driven; the amount of traffic which then actually was or might reasonably be expected then to be therein - was dangerous to the public, thereby causing serious bodily harm to Dillon Gilligan. He also pleaded guilty to a charge that on October 20, 2024, at Cloverhill Road, Clondalkin, Dublin 22, he intentionally engaged in conduct which created a substantial risk of death or serious injury to Dillon Gilligan. Dominic McGinn SC, representing Craig, asked that an education report be prepared in respect of his client. He also asked for a probation report saying this was with a view to examining restorative justice. Mr Justice Paul McDermott set a date of October 28 for sentencing and directed that an education report, probation report, victim impact statement and any other relevant reports be prepared for that date.
