Yesterday, President Michael D. Higgins officially pardoned two Kerry men wrongfully hanged for murder in 1883. 38-year-old Sylvester Poff and 24-year-old James Barrett were convicted of murdering Thomas Browne in Dromulton, near Currow on 3rd October, 1882. Jerry spoke to Tomo Burke from Castleisland who is a great grandson of Sylvester Poff. Tomo's grandmother died when he was 16 and he remembers people talking to her about the executions. Jerry also spoke to Louise Browne, who lives in London. James Barrett was her great grand uncle. Both attended yesterday’s ceremony in Áras an Uachtaráin.
Two Kerry men hanged for murder over 140 years ago, are being pardoned by the President this afternoon. Sylvester Poff and James Barrett were hanged in 1883 after being convicted of the murder of Thomas Browne at his farm in Dromulton, near Currow. The Castleisland District Heritage group campaigned for a posthumous pardon for the two men who they say were victims of a miscarriage of justice. As a result of the group’s campaign, the Department of Justice engaged Dr Niamh Howlin, an expert in 19th century trial law and an Associate Professor in the Sutherland School of Law, UCD, to carry out a review. Her review of the case found the convictions to be unsafe. Jerry spoke to Johnnie Roche, chair of Castleisland District Heritage, who is travelling to Dublin for the official pardon of Poff and Barrett at Áras an Uachtaráin.

We're trying to get more work in place with fewer people and that's how you drive schedules, that's how you drive cost savings. That's how you improve. - James • Evaluating and deploying solutions is working at the pace of change that people are comfortable with. - James • We're facing a huge issue with a lack of skilled labour. We have an ageing workforce that's retiring and it's not being replaced. - James • When Venture capitalists told me that the industry is laggard and antiquated and simply not a good investment, because it's not going to adapt fast enough, I said, it's the second largest industry in the world. It's right for innovation, it needs it. - Meirav • I think the worst thing you can have is incredibly bright, talented people wasting 2, 3, 4, 5 years of their life producing a solution that nobody wants. It's probably the greatest waste of human talent you can imagine. So that's why the whole program was born. - James About Our Host Louisa Dickins Louisa is the co-founder of LMRE, which has rapidly become the market leading global PropTech recruitment platform and search consultancy with operations across North America, United Kingdom, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
