Tiocfaidh ár lá, cries woman guilty of murder

A Limerick woman has pleaded guilty to murdering a father-of-two as he sat in a van on the driveway of his home.

Rose Lynch, aged 50, gave a clenched fist salute and exclaimed “Mná na hÉireann, tiocfaidh ár lá” as she was led in to custody at the Special Criminal Court in Dublin yesterday after unexpectedly pleading guilty to the murder of David Darcy, aged 39.

The call was returned by shouts of “you should be ashamed of yourself” and “scumbag” from the public gallery.
