Man banned from Ireland for 20 years unfit to plead after allegedly breaching order

A psychiatrist declared on Tuesday that a man with 'grandiose delusions', who is accused of breaching a court order banning him from Ireland for 20 years, is mentally unfit to plead in his case. Matthew Notman, of Laburnum House, Laburnum Avenue, Kirkby in Nottingham in the UK was not well enough to attend at Cork Circuit Criminal Court, his barrister Paula McCarthy told Judge Helen Boyle. Prosecution barrister Brendan Kelly called Dr Dearbhla Duffy, a consultant forensic psychiatrist at the Central Mental Hospital, to give evidence by video link at Cork Circuit Criminal Court. Dr Duffy confirmed that due to his present condition the accused was not in a position to plead guilty or not guilty to the charge against him. The 2022 court order that Mr Notman was charged with breaching required him to stay out of Ireland for 20 years and not to communicate directly or indirectly with a woman living in west Cork. The allegation is was that Mr Notman communicated with the woman on Facebook Messenger on November 13 and 14, 2024, and entered Ireland by ferry on November 10, 2024. He was admitted to the hospital earlier this year following an acute psychotic episode characterised by grandiose delusions where he was of the belief that he was the 'King of Ireland' returning to make the woman 'the Queen of Ireland'. While the defence barrister Ms McCarthy said her client intended to enter a guilty plea, Judge Boyle was satisfied that he was not presently fit to plead. The accused will continue to receive treatment at the Central Mental Hospital until he is deemed fit to be discharged.

Notman Photographic Archives receives UNESCO Memory of the World Register distinction

MONTREAL - The Notman Photographic Archives, a collection of photographs described as a Canadian treasure, has been inscribed into UNESCO's Memory of the World Register. The McCord Stewart Museum in Montreal is the home of the collection, which contains 400,000 prints and 200,000 glass plate negatives as well as records and ledgers from the Montreal Notman studio between 1856 and 1935. William Notman's studio employed people across Canada and the United States, and the collection includes portraits, cityscapes and landscapes from coast to coast that the museum's head describes as shedding light on the construction of Canada over an 80 year period. Notman brought unique innovation and esthetic to portrait photography, which the museum says helped him earn an international reputation as the most prominent Canadian photographer of his era. The archive had first been added to Canada's national Memory of the World Register in 2019 before receiving the international distinction this week. Cody Groat, a Western University professor and Chair of the Canadian commission for the UNESCO Memory of the World advisory committee, says the designation is given to the most significant archival or documentary heritage collections in the world.
