Tipperary man to be reinterred 80 years after he was hanged for murder he didn't commit

At the conclusion of his trial, Henry Gleeson (pictured) told his lawyer McBride that he would 'pray whoever did it will be discovered and that the whole thing will be like an open book'.

A Tipperary man wrongly accused of murder is to be reinterred by his family in his native county on Sunday, more than 80 years after he was hanged.

Henry Gleeson of New Inn was executed for the murder of Moll McCarthy in 1941. Over 40 years later a friend of Gleeson’s wrote an account of the murder and the trial which showed how a miscarriage of justice probably occurred.
