The two young men who now stand convicted of the unlawful killing of 29-year-old Matt O’Neill in Carrigaline will be sentenced for his manslaughter on May 16 after they were remanded in custody on Monday until then.

This follows the final breakthrough in jury deliberations on Monday when Ricardo Hoey was found not guilty of murder but guilty of the manslaughter of 29-year-old Matt O’Neill in Carriglaine at Christmas in 2022.
