Dolores McNamara’s dark family secret

LOTTO millionaire Dolores McNamara has a dark family secret.

Her nephew, Anthony ‘Noddy’ McCarthy, was one of five men convicted in 2003 of the murder of Limerick crime boss Kieran Keane.

McCarthy was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder by Judge Paul Carney at the Central Criminal Court on December 20, 2003.

He is also a first cousin of Wayne Dundon, described by senior gardaí as one of the most violent criminals they have come across. Kieran Keane was killed at Drombana, Limerick, on January 29, 2003.
