Macroom man had people with no place of their own over to stay at his, murder trial told

A garda described what he found when he came across 61-year-old Michael Foley's body

61-year-old Michael Foley 'used to be very proud of his house', the court heard.

The nurse who found 61-year-old Michael Foley lying dead in a pool of blood in his kitchen told the judge and jury at his murder trial that he used to be very proud of his house buying trinkets and things to decorate it.

Ciara Harmon said he also spent an awful lot of his money on alcohol but was organised enough to put some aside to pay for heating and so forth.
