Diarmuid Rossa Phelan
This morning.
The High Court has refused bail to a 53-year-old barrister and law professor who is accused of murder.
Via RTE News:
Diarmuid Rossa Phelan from Kiltalown Lane, Tallaght, in Dublin, is charged with murdering 36-year-old Keith Conlon, who was shot at Hazelgrove Farm, Kiltalown Lane in Tallaght, on 22 February.
Gardaí told the High Court last week that Mr Phelan was considered a flight risk as he had extensive contacts abroad and owned considerable assets.
His defence counsel, Michael O’Higgins, submitted to the court that his client is a person who has a greater understanding of having to meet a court order “rather than 99.9% of the population“.
But Ms Justice Deirdre Murphy ruled today that Mr Phelan posed a serious flight risk if admitted on bail.
Barrister accused of murder is refused bail (RTE)
Previously: Charged
Good decision.
Hurray to deirdre next steps
.1.barrington
2.the money trail perhaps wider investigation
Colorado American money
The Irish fund
.Mitchell and Barrington
Proper order
He is a bigger flight risk than a boing 737 max before they were grounded
Not impressed with that “99.9%” comment.
…phew…thought you were referring to the Broadsheet chapter of ratlickers…
Gallagher and scumbag
The idea that people should be out defending there property like its the wild west is madness, stay inside and call the gards thats what there for
And then they don’t turn up.. he had over 20 written complaints to the local Garda about the residents of the adjacent halting site. The funny thing is, if he’ll shot the intruder between the eyes and said he felt threatened he’d have made bail.
takes note
If the person he shot is a member of the Travelling community, I expect he’ll get away with it. Shooting Travellers in the back is an acceptable practice in this country.
Oooh edgy stuff indeed.
I’m sure the traveling community are completely aligned with your ultra left wing beliefs all along the line Doxxy.
Thanks, Null, I needed a laugh.
He was a licensed holder of ten firearms and on the day in question was carrying at least two. He used a rifle to kill a dog then switched to a revolver to kill a man. Instead of trying to give the impression that he’s someone special he should spend the next few decades reflecting on what kind of gun nut he’d allowed himself to become.
…on his own land,where he stood his ground,just saying,like,it’s Tallaght.
The Wild West Dublin.
Leave it to the courts. It will be a jury trial IMO.
“It’s better to be judged by twelve than to be carried by six”
Bit like clusters last stand
A man who understands law shoots some poor gob-poo
Jesus who needs 10 firearms in Ireland
Maybe the people that grant licences for firearms should of realised they had a gun nut on their hands
Jesus can you imagine if you did not pay up for his services
And has anyone noticed the simalrity between him and gun totting alleged supreme court judge amy coney barrettt
oh yeah legalise handguns and kill those we dont like
You have a better idea?
Don’t buy land in Tallagh
Exactly. He could have been living it up on Torquay Road in Foxrock, instead he decided arguing with the people in the halting site next to him for the rest of his life would be the wiser option.
In fairness, sheep grazing in front garden in Foxrock could lead to a decline in property values.
When they replaced those designer traffic lights in fox rock with run of the mill ones one should of realise fox rock was going to the dogs
What next for the poor dears a supermacs?
Too up-market.
Dealz.
Yeah, he should not have expected Travelers to act like normal people, right, lads?
Nice one!
Exactly, Gringo or outside Athy or, well, anywhere near, you know who, right? Someone should do an app for detecting where you can buy land, without ending up with you know who, next door. For Apple iPhone only.
‘Wow’ 10 guns , who is this guy , Rambo just over from the USA to sort out the lads in Tallafornia
Where does this “10 guns” stuff come from? Can anyone “name those pieces?”

What is your limit on guns, Dave? Nine,? Six? Two? Is it an odd or even number? Don’t tell me though, I’ll guess. Not ten,anyway, right?
I know someone who has over 50
I find it very surprising that travelers were involved…
I formally call on Peter charleton to resign Lies in a mirror Peter
It’s all very ”Traveling Community” here in Dublin but head out to Mayo, where people alone on remote farms live lives of terror at the hands of Travelers & it’s a different story. Unfortunately, they’ve earned their reputation. If your neighbour was a 75-year-old, tied to a chair in his kitchen, beaten & left to die by drowning in his own blood, you simply cannot afford to treat Travelers like anyone else.
True story, by the way, for those with long enough memories, it led to a very similar result & the shooter walked, eventually.
Nice to see my old mucker, Mick O’Higgins, still arousing ire.
The man he shot wasn’t a traveller. The issues with the neighbouring halting site were separate to this
As anyone who cared to read the original article would know.
phelan to anticipate a broadsheet article to come is merely an emblem or symbol of awfulness
alt high, protective of property, hatred of others and semi educated
the trinity law faculty and in fact trinity in a nutshell
the extension of the garbage of the Irish etsbablshment a lie in the mirror of the Supreme Court
Now, now, that’s enough about Ivana Bacik.
You sound bitter.
You actually are bitter
Tough day, Mad.
…can’t wait David…
err…I’m the original bitter one here…
A modest proposal
Not to be taken seriously
Why do we not set up a fighting fund justice for phelan
Justice for diarmuid
.mountjoy not cloverhill
Good company joined by fellow colleagues
Bail or no bail in the court of appeal
Disappear our interests are threatened
A little visit from the consigliare or many of them
Assets secured for others
Good old boy
Mr o Higgins sc title under advisement indicates trash like phdlan never put a foot wrong
Well thus that include beating your wife beating up young boys outside the four courts or seeking to frame the more ethical
Still bitter about Trinity academia and not being included in the ranks.
That’s some commentary and allegations about an officer of the court and undermining the subjudice principle. Grow up.
The comment was ludicrous frankly rhetorical advocates embellish as they must
Barrister accused of murder ‘isn’t Roman Abramovich’ and should not have assets frozen, his lawyers argue in Court of Appeal
https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/barrister-accused-of-murder-isnt-roman-abramovich-and-should-not-have-assets-frozen-his-lawyers-argue-in-court-of-appeal-41524183.html
“Murder accused barrister Diarmuid Rossa Phelan is not Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich and should not have his assets frozen because “an allegation” has been made against him, his lawyers have argued at the Court of Appeal…”
And what would that ‘allegation’ be, exactly? Something trivial, perhaps? Like the murder of a plebeian?
“…Mr Phelan has been farming in Tallaght since 2015 and holds lands in Wexford where he has been farming for over 20 years,” dontcha know.
The judge just decided do some “independent” financial analysis and research,given her background in,eh,ehm….oh.
…Before delivering her decision last month Ms Justice Murphy informed counsel that she had looked at public documents available from Sagacious Investment Ltd and saw that Mr Phelan had been appointed as a sole director last September. The court had previously heard that the farm in Tallaght is held in Northern Ireland with a company called Sagacious Investment Ltd and Mr Phelan said the farm in Wexford is held through “EUSA Ltd”.….
Same judge in extremely controversial recent Waters/GOD constitutional case,in which they were badly represented.
It was not justice to deny him bail,the judge has no financial expertise nor should she be reviewing material not in front of her,she was wrong to deny him bail.

That would make your blood run cold.
And there sat Sam, looking vexed and grim, in the heart of the furnace roar;
And he’d lost his smile and his mood was vile, and he said: “Please close that door.
It’s fine in here, but I greatly fear you’ll let in the cold and storm —
I’ve got the chills, have you seen these bills? How the hell can a man keep warm?”

Barrister Diarmuid Rossa Phelan bailed on strict conditions over shooting death of dog breeder Keith Conlon

“A leading barrister who is accused of murdering father-of-four Keith Conlon in a fatal shooting on farmland in Tallaght has been granted bail this evening, after the Court of Appeal overturned the rejection of his bail application by the High Court last month. Ruling on Diarmuid Rossa Phelan’s bail application this evening, President of the Court of Appeal Mr Justice George Birmingham said the accused man enjoys a presumption of innocence and as part of that he enjoys a presumption in favour of bail. He said Mr Phelan, who is a law lecturer and senior counsel, has ties to the State as a member of the Bar of Ireland and as a person with significant assets in this jurisdiction. Mr Phelan has never offended and “on the contrary has been a person of good standing in the community”, Mr Justice Birmingham pointed out. He added that the bail conditions agreed between the parties justified the court’s decision to admit Mr Phelan to bail…”
well
the omerta code dispensation damned if we do or do not
the jihadist dorian grey of the Irish legal profession
on a technical note how can it be with any legal statutory structure a bail condition not to go to trinity for three weeks
obviously the interests of time serving mediocrity and self serving globalisation are considering their position
but it is not or should not be a bail condition
the package of offers has been made available
follow the trial of fullness
christ stopped at emboli
Agreed. A three-week ban from Trinity seems weak. It needs to be extended until at least October just to ruin the Phil and HIST’s chances of inviting him to a Fresher’s Week debate.
In fairness, the accused did have to come up with a few quid as bail and find another independent security of 100K in total. End of the day, he’s presumed innocent, I agree with the learned Justice B. That said the accused’s barrister comes across like someone who needed a good kicking in the togouts at Gonzaga before it went this far.
This “flight risk” stuff is 19th century nonsense IMO. You can hide NOWHERE in the world today. It’s not like he’d ramble off with a rucksack to the mines of the Congo or Caves at Bora Bora and write diaries with a quil by candlelight.
The jury selection will be most interesting.
He’s entitled to presumption of innocence even if he is a self pleasurer
Any Conflict of Interest to declare there Mr Langwaller?
Just asking questions. Like ╮(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)╭
Christ t’night
Conflict of interest no
I would represent Satan or diarmuid rossa
The fact that I despise him and all he is associated with an irrelevance
Service with a smile
I doubt at the end of three weeks trinity will allow him to address the Phil or hist
I am sure the Chancellor will take care of it
God speed
What about Santa Claus, would you represent him?
Items on the agenda for the Chancellor
1:how unfortunate it had been the neo Liberal catholicisation of trinity and its apotheosis
2: false cases and false accounting
3: morality Mary the church
4: corporate and reputational damage well I would not say you would care about
5: the need for proper left wing politics
6: the plain people of North and South shocking
7: Americans Mitchell funds colorado American money
8:Yvonne was right about this not about much else
9:research research research si thoroughly unimportant
10.warlords and gangster capitalism Ireland the Ukraine our friends and sponsors in America
So much to think about in less than 3 weeks though the mind at least is as good as ever
