The families of murder victims in Kilkenny have welcomed the establishment of a new independent parole board.
Minister for Justice Helen McEntee recently announced that the board is to be established and fully operational by July 2021. Ronan Quinn’s mother Christine was murdered in her home Greenfields in Kilkenny City in 2002. Mark Costigan was convicted her murder and is currently serving a life sentence. Costigan has never admitted to the murder or apologised or shown any remorse to his victim’s family.
Ronan Quinn, along with family members, has tirelessly campaigned for changes to the parole system.
