Irish Examiner view: We need to focus on voice of victims

'Marú in ár Measc — the murder of Joyce Quinn' tonight on TG4 shines a light on the impact unprovoked murder cases have on families and communities

Ray Quinn, husband of Joyce, has called for his wife's killer to be banned from entering the county of Kildare. He is interviewed in 'Marú in ár Measc — the murder of Joyce Quinn' tonight on TG4.

In a documentary on TG4 tonight, Ray Quinn will repeat a call to have his wife’s killer banned from re-entering the county of Kildare when he is released. He has written to the Justice Minister and the Parole Board to ask that a county ban and tagging be made conditions of the release of Kenneth O’Reilly, now serving a life sentence for murdering Joyce Quinn in the Curragh Plains in Kildare in 1996.

The former member of the Defence Forces says it should be a condition not just in this case but for other families in a similar situation.
