Declan Power seeks to overturn a 2025 exclusion zone restricting him from living near his home, arguing it violates his rights despite being on conditional release since 2021.
Declan Power, convicted in 2003 for the 2002 murders of his wife and a publican in Clashmore, County Waterford, has been granted permission to challenge a 2025 government exclusion zone that bars him from living within 18 kilometers of the crime scene.
Power, on conditional release since 2021, argues the restriction, which prevents him from returning to his own home in Bawnacomera—seven kilometers away—is disproportionate and violates his constitutional rights.
He owns the property, built it, and ran a mechanic business there.
The High Court previously quashed the original exclusion order in 2025, prompting the Minister for Justice to reaffirm the restriction, which Power now seeks to overturn.
The case hinges on whether the geographic limit is lawful, fair, and necessary given his lack of intent to return to the area and his compliance with release conditions.
