Ba ionsaí é a bhain siar as pobal beag Gaeltachta i gCo. na Gaillimhe. I mí na Nollaig 1998, maraíodh déagóir óg, Siobhán Hynes, go brúidiúil agus í amuigh don oíche ar an gCeathrú Rua. Ní raibh ach seacht mbliana déag aici. Fuarthas a corp ar chladach beag, tuairim ar dhá mhíle go leith as sráidbhaile na Ceathrún Rua. Cúisíodh John McDonagh, fear áitiúil, as an dúnmharú, agus tá 24 bliana caite aige sa phriosún as Siobhan a mharú agus a éigniú. Shéan sé gach cúis ón tús agus anois tá sé ag éileamh ath-thástáil nua ar an bhfianaise a chualathas sa chás.
