The mother of murdered Irish boxing champion Kevin Sheehy is pleading with the Minister for Justice to reverse her decision to approve the transfer of her son’s murderer to a UK prison.
Tracey Tully took her campaign to the gates of the Dáil on Friday afternoon where she told reporters she believed her son would be training for the Olympics if he wasn’t brutally killed by Logan Jackson in 2019.
Ms Tully was backed by her local TD, Fianna Fáil veteran, Willie O’Dea, who said that he had raised the proposed transfer of Englishman Jackson back to an English jail with both the Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, and Justice Minister, Helen McEntee.
