flag A 70-year-old man sentenced to 20 years for decades of severe abuse against his five children, including confinement and forced urine consumption, in County Sligo.

flag Noel Farrell, 70, was sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to decades of sexual abuse against his five children in County Sligo, including prolonged confinement without food and forced consumption of urine. flag The abuse, which occurred at multiple residences, caused lasting trauma, with victims reporting mental health struggles, addiction, and time in care. flag Four victims waived anonymity to identify Farrell, while the fifth supported his identification. flag Judge Tony Hunt called the case a severe breach of trust and one of the most extreme he has seen, reducing the initial 30-year sentence primarily due to Farrell’s guilty plea. flag The judge deemed post-release supervision unnecessary given Farrell’s age. flag Victims embraced after sentencing, while Farrell showed no reaction.
