The daughter of the late Bobby Ryan has spoken about the ordeal of the last eight years since her father was murdered by Patrick Quirke.

The prosecution case against farmer Patrick Quirke, who denies murdering his love rival Bobby 'Mr Moonlight' Ryan, is "forensically barren" but calls on the support of the jury's common sense, lawyers for the State have said.

The daughter of a man who was murdered and left in a farm pit for almost two years yesterday prayed for justice for her father as he was finally given a proper burial.

A brother of a man who has been missing for more than 15 months said yesterday he believes his brother was murdered.
