flag Noel Long, 77, appeals his 2023 conviction for a 1981 murder, citing trial fairness and flawed evidence.

flag Noel Long, 77, is appealing his 2023 conviction for the 1981 murder of Nora Sheehan, a case that became the oldest murder prosecution in Irish history. flag His appeal argues that the lengthy delay in prosecution prejudiced his right to a fair trial and that DNA, fiber, and paint evidence should have been excluded due to issues with a 1981 arrest under the Offences Against the State Act and alleged constitutional violations during searches. flag The Court of Appeal is reviewing the case, with no new evidence introduced. flag The outcome will determine whether the conviction stands or if a retrial is required.
