Man pleads guilty to firearms charges in case linked to Carlow shooter Evan Fitzgerald
TWO YOUNG MEN charged with multiple firearms offences alongside Evan Fitzgerald, the 22-year-old man who died after firing shots at a shopping centre in Carlow earlier this month, have appeared before Naas Circuit Court this afternoon. The charges stem from an incident in March 2024, in which the two were arrested along with Fitzgerald. Shane Kinsella, of Tynock, Kiltegan, Co Wicklow, and Daniel Quinn Burke, of Allendale Lawns, Baltinglass, Co Wicklow, are facing charges under the Firearms Act relating to weapons and ammunition. All three had been facing the same four charges: two counts relating to the possession of weapons, and two relating to the possession of ammunition. Kinsella and Quinn Burke have been on bail since March 2024. Fitzgerald had also been on bail prior to his death. Advertisement During a hearing earlier this month at Naas District Court Judge Desmond Zaidan withdrew the charges against Fitzgerald , who fatally injured himself in the incident at the Fairgreen centre, and described his death as 'a suicide'. Kinsella and Quinn Burke, both aged 21, were accompanied by their mothers in court today. The charges for both were idential – possession of .45 calibre M1911A1 semi-automatic pistol, as well as a 7.62mm G3 assault rifle and a range of ammunition. After Judge Elva Duffy read the firearms charges aloud, Daniel Quinn Burke entered a guilty plea. He is due to return to court for sentencing on 7 October. Shane Kinsella, represented by solicitor David Powderly, requested more time before entering a plea. Judge Duffy agreed to adjourn the case, and Kinsella is expected to appear again on 18 July.

Netflix viewers obsessed with 'ruthless' show they can't stop watching
Netflix viewers have been left completely obsessed with a show that is so gripping, fans say that viewers won't be able to stop watching it once they've started Netflix fans have been urged to watch a 'bingeworthy' series that's bound to keep you glued to your TV screen. Known for sharing streaming recommendations on his TikTok account, TV and film critic Eccy Reviews insists that the AMC+ original show Kin will have you on the edge of your seat. Kin is available to stream in both the UK and US and follows the Kinsella clan as they navigate difficult power dynamics while striving to protect their family amid a vicious drug war that pushes their bonds to breaking point. The compelling drama unfolds over two seasons with eight episodes apiece, boasting a stellar cast including Charlie Cox, Clare Dunne, Aiden Gillen, Emmett Maria Doyle Kennedy, Sam Keeley, Yasmin Seky, Ciarán Hinds, and Francis Magee. Eccy Reviews said: "Once you start this, you won't be able to stop yourself from finishing it as it is so good. It's gripping, it's entertaining and it's absolutely ruthless." Viewers have been vocal in their praise, with comments on Eccy's video reflecting the enthusiasm. One viewer exclaimed: "I tell everyone to watch Kin! It's top tier show!" Meanwhile, others compared it favourably to other shows or shared their keen approval: "Kin was great so was This City is Ours and just finished Dept Q, which was fab." Another said: "Watched it on Irish TV over the last couple of years it's a decent watch but very much like Love/Hate." A fan commented: "I've seen it before, absolutely brilliant." Adding to its accolades, Kin has snagged nine awards and snagged 14 nominations, crowning its success with the Best Television Drama prize at the 2024 IFTA Awards. IMDb reviews are buzzing with opinions on the show, with one viewer commenting: "I won't give it away. Watch the entire series even though you get impatient or bored. The ending is worth it. I wonder if there will be another season." Another chimed in with their take: "I personally thought the second season was better than the first. "The character of Bren brought this series to life and made it much more gritty. I wasn't keen on the relationship with Michael and his estranged daughter in either season." However, others were more critical, with one writing: "The acting and dialogue just wasn't working and was slow and repetitive. Ciaran Hinds in the first season was also good and the camera screen just loves his presence. "Obviously can't go into details with the storylines because it will spoil this but I thought the character of Eric also did a great Job in both seasons. Overall I preferred the second season of this series." A different user recommended the show: "It's a great show definitely worth a watch. First Irish series I've watched and definitely better than some of the other trash on the TV. I hope they make a second season and build upon it." And finally, a user delved into the plot: "Kin as in Kinsella a fictional Dublin crime family embroiled in a crime war . Murder, death and drugs seem to be everyday activities for this Irish clan. "A well acted crime drama with devastating violence . I read somewhere it was not based in truth but fiction. But I did read in Irish Times the big Dublin crime family is the Kinahan gang."

Meath stun Kerry with nine-point win to claim All-Ireland quarter-final place
Meath 1-22 Kerry 0-16 Paul Brennan reports from Tullamore A SHOCK TO say the least as Meath turned Kerry over by nine points in Tullamore to top Group 2 and take themselves straight to Croke Park in a fortnight for the All-Ireland quarter-finals. For Kerry it will be a home preliminary quarter-final in Killarney next weekend, but a whole pile of soul-searching between here and there as they wonder where it all went wrong. An obvious place to start would be with their walking wounded – Sean O'Shea joining with Paudie Clifford, Paul Geaney, Diarmuid O'Connor, Barry Dan O'Sullivan and Brian O Beaglaoich on the treatment table – as Kerry's injury list seems to grow by the day. Quite who they will have available for next week's game remains to be seen, but Jack O'Connor might have as much work to do above his players' necks as below. Whatever about Kerry's woes, this was all about Meath and their renaissance under Robbie Brennan. Exactly a year ago Meath were mugged by 15 points by Kerry in Navan; in Tullamore they were once bitten, twice shy. Advertisement Despite missing James Conlon from their attack, Eoghan Freyne, Ruairi Kinsella and Conor Duke more than compensated, with Bryan Menton icing the win with a second half goal, and wing back Ciaran Caulfield putting in a tour de force display. Kerry kicked two early wides before Meath goalkeeper Billy Hogan converted a '45' and that seemed to set the tone: Kerry scraggly and loose, Meath crisp and on point. Meath led by three points but quickly fell 0-5 to 0-3 behind with Micheal Burns, Dylan Geaney and Brosnan and a two-pointer from David Clifford getting Kerry in front. That should have been the platform for Kerry to kick on but they couldn't. Or Meath wouldn't allow it. Kerry were still ahead by two, 0-7 to 0-5, after 20 minutes but then Freyne and Kinsella converted a two-pointer each, with Duke, Jordan Morris and a couple of Freyne frees giving Meath a fully deserved 0-14 to 0-8 half time lead. Meath had Cathal Hickey sin binned 30 seconds into the second half but Kerry only took a point off Meath's lead by the time he returned. By the 50th minute Kerry were within two points, 0-16 to 0-14, but not exactly pulling up trees, while Meath never flinched as Kerry breathed down their necks. Kinsella pointed from play, then within two minutes Kinsella and Duke scored two-pointers, and then Menton raised the game's only green flag. Meath ahead by 10 points with 13 minutes left to play. The Meath supporters in the 8,265 crowd not wanting it to end; the Kerry players on their knees by the time the final hooter sounded. Scorers for Meath: E Freyne 0-5 (2f, tp), C Duke 0-5 (tp) R Kinsella 0-5 (2tp), B Menton 1-0, J Morris 0-2 (1f), K Curtis 0-1, D Keogan 0-1, S Coffey 0-1, C Caulfield 0-1, B Hogan 0-1 (45) Scorers for Kerry: D Clifford 0-5 (1f, tp), D Geaney 0-4, K Spillane 0-3 (2f), T Brosnan 0-2, P Murphy 0-1, M Burns 0-1 Meath: Billy Hogan, Seamus Lavin, Sean Rafferty, Ronan Ryan, Donal Keogan, Sean Coffey, Ciaran Caulfield, Bryan Menton, Adam O'Neill, Conor Duke, Ruairí Kinsella, Cathal Hickey, Jordan Morris, Keith Curtis, Eoghan Freyne.

Meath sweep past Kerry and into the All-Ireland quarter-finals
Meath booked their place in the All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals in a fortnight with a royal performance to sack the Kingdom by nine points and consign the Munster champions to a preliminary quarter-final next weekend in Killarney. That's not something Kerry would have neither expected or wanted, but their growing injury list finally caught up with them in Tullamore. They paid a hefty price against a Meath team that backed themselves fully to go after a weakened Kingdom rather than play the percentages to guarantee themselves second place in Group 2 and a home preliminary quarter-final. Even without James Conlon, Meath went after Kerry from the very start, and in Eoghan Freyne, Ruairi Kinsella and Conor Duke they had a trio that scored 15 points between them, which included four two-pointers. More about Meath in a moment, but an obvious place for Kerry to start their post-mortem would be with their walking wounded – Sean O'Shea joining with Paudie Clifford, Paul Geaney, Diarmuid O'Connor, Barry Dan O'Sullivan and Brian O Beaglaoich on the treatment table – as Kerry's injury list seems to grow by the day. Quite who they will have available for next week's game remains to be seen, but Jack O'Connor has much to work on with his fit players in the next seven days given the woefulness of this performance. Whatever about Kerry's woes, though, this game was all about Meath and their renaissance under Robbie Brennan.

Kildare woman (20) charged over alleged €16,000 mobile text scam fraud
Abbie Kinsella (20), of The Green, Earl's Court, Kill, Co Kildare, appeared before Tallaght District Court on Friday morning. The court heard that while she currently resides in Kildare, she was living in Dublin at the time of the alleged offence and was arrested and charged there. Garda O'Connor told Judge Patricia McNamara that the alleged victim received a text message purporting to be from the Eir mobile network, warning that his phone service would be cancelled unless he paid an outstanding bill. Believing the message to be genuine, the man provided his banking details - but later discovered that more than €16,400 had been withdrawn from his account. Garda O'Connor stated that €4,900 was allegedly transferred into Ms Kinsella's Revolut account. Ms Kinsella is charged with an offence under Section 7(1) of the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Act 2010. Refusing jurisdiction, Judge McNamara said: 'I do not consider this to be of a minor nature to be dealt with summarily.' She directed that a book of evidence be prepared and served within six weeks and sent the case forward to the Circuit Court. Ms Kinsella was remanded on continuing bail and is due before Tallaght District Court again on June 26 at 10am.
