A Garda investigation is to be carried out into the publication by the Sunday World of an article during a murder trial. The DPP will study the findings.
The article featured an interview with Ms Elizabeth Mulvihill, the girlfriend of the deceased, Mr Tony Kenny. Ms Mulvihill was described as "a key witness" in the trial of Patrick Carry at the Central Criminal Court last month.
The article was published in the Sunday World on April 28th during the trial of Patrick Carry (18), of Headfort Grove, Kells, Co Meath. Carry was charged with the murder of Tony Kenny (17), of Tromra Road, Granard, Co Longford, at Carrickatober, Crosskeys, Co Cavan, on March 6th 1994. He was cleared of murder but convicted of manslaughter. He was given a six year suspended jail sentence.
