Tributes pour in for former High Court judge Kinlen
The late Mr Kinlen, who practised as a barrister for many years in the south-western circuit, had strong family connections with the Kingdom as his grandfather, Tom O’Donnell, was a judge and Nationalist MP for West Kerry between 1900 and 1918.
Legal colleagues at the Circuit Court, in Killarney, were saddened yesterday on hearing of his passing.
