Accused showed his tiocfaidh ár lá tattoo, says witness

A CORKMAN on trial for murder allegedly rolled up his sleeve to show the deceased — a young Englishman — a “tiocfaidh ár lá” tattoo after he claimed his father had been a loyalist.

Timothy O’Driscoll, aged 34, of 12 St Rita’s Avenue, Gurranabraher, Cork, denies murdering Lee McCarthy, aged 25, at 12 St Rita’s Avenue on April 17, 2010.

Stephen Monaghan told the Central Criminal Court, sitting in Cork that he, O’Driscoll and McCarthy had been drinking together.
