David Rawle takes on role as killer Brendan O’Donnell, a world away from Moone Boy

IT WAS one of the most shocking and notorious multiple murders in Irish history, and many still remember the time in 1994 when Brendan O’Donnell took three innocent lives in the quiet Co Clare countryside.
The nation was horrified when news emerged that O’Donnell shot dead Imelda Riney and her three-year-old boy Liam. More bloodshed was to follow in the killing of local priest Fr Liam Walsh.
