Criminal back in court after night celebrating killers’ loss of appeal

ONE of Limerick’s most notorious criminals ended up in court yesterday after a night out celebrating the court of appeal rejection of an appeal by the five men convicted of murdering crime boss Kieran Keane.

The murdered man’s nephew, Liam Keane, aged 23, was arrested for being drunk and disorderly in the city centre after a night out drinking with a friend.

Limerick District Court heard yesterday that Keane and Nicholas Lyons, aged 25, of St Ita’s Street, St Mary’s Park, were arrested for drunk and disorderly conduct. The alleged offences happened at around 11.35am yesterday at O’Connell Street, Nicholas Street and Merchants Quay.
