The Murder of Mr Moonlight | Limerick News

When Bobby Ryan, beloved Tipperary DJ “Mr Moonlight,” vanished in 2011 and was found two years later in a grim underground tank, it sparked one of Ireland’s most haunting true crime stories. Now, RTÉ and the BBC are teaming up for a five-part drama that puts Bobby front and center — not as a victim, but as a vibrant soul whose life unraveled amid secrets, love, and betrayal. Patrick Quirke, convicted in 2019 after the longest trial in Irish history, is portrayed by Owen McDonnell, while Brendan Coyle brings Bobby to life and Michelle Ryan, his daughter, is played by Hazel Doupe. Based on Catherine Fegan’s acclaimed book, this gripping series dives into the rural tensions, hidden motives, and emotional fallout — all set to premiere in 2027.
