Government should prioritise passing legislation to remove guardianship rights from convicted killers ahead of the next general election, the family of a woman murdered by her husband has said.

Valerie French Kilroy was 41 when she was murdered by her husband, James Kilroy, at their house in Mayo in June 2019. Kilroy was sentenced to life imprisonment last July after being found guilty of her murder.
