  2. [16:23] Teen pleads guilty to attempted murder of popular chaplain at army barracks

    A 17-year-old has pleaded guilty to the attempted murder of Defence Forces chaplain Fr Paul Murphy, who suffered multiple stab wounds following an attack last year. At a brief arraignment this afternoon at the Central Criminal Court, the teenager replied guilty to the count of attempted murder at Dún Uí Mhaoilíosa, Renmore Barracks in Galway on August 15, 2024. The defendant was 16 at the time of the attack and cannot be identified due to his age. Mr Justice Paul McDermott requested a probation report from Oberstown Detention Centre and adjourned the matter to March 7, when a date for a sentencing hearing will be set. Fr Murphy, aged in his 50s, will be invited to make a victim impact statement to the court. The victim, a popular chaplain with the 1st Infantry Battalion, suffered multiple stab wounds in the attack while he sat in his car. He was treated for his injuries at University Hospital Galway.

  5. I hadn't realised that Assumption of Mary (15th August) is a Belgian national holiday. Every restaurant in Enghien was closed this evening. Got to the local supermarket just before closing and bought bread and beer (we already had cheese, salami, and salad veg). Dined in style on the hotel balcony!
