The Unsolved Killing of Father Niall Molloy

This episode was first published on Patreon on February 2025. In 1985 a local and beloved priest was found dead in the bedroom of a high-society couple in Offaly. These were no strangers, in fact Therese Flynn was Father Molloy's business partner. Together, they had built an equestrian empire.To everyone's surprise, when police were eventually called, there was a confession. Therese's husband Richard said he was the culprit, but he said it was in self-defence. It wasn't long before rumours were swirling of an affair, of alleged dodgy business dealings and of a burglary of Father Molloy's will. Very soon after this, everything fell apart. 40 years later, this case is still open and nobody has served any time for the cold-blooded and violent killing of Father Niall Molloy, and this week, we ask why.Linkshttps://web.archive.org/web/20120927112320/https://www.independent.ie/lifestyle/fr-niall-why-well-never-stop-our-fight-for-justice-3236507.htmlhttps://archive.ph/20130217191329/http://www.independent.ie/national-news/judge-hits-at-colleague-over-priest-killing-case-3182954.htmlhttps://archive.ph/20130217183853/http://www.independent.ie/opinion/analysis/mystery-of-priests-violent-death-134899.htmlhttps://archive.ph/20130217194232/http://www.independent.ie/national-news/priest-was-left-to-die-for-six-hours-new-evidence-claims-2846473.html#selection-2767.0-2767.186Killing of Fr Niall Molloy: untangling rumour, innuendo and factThe Killing of Fr Niall Molloy feels too extraordinary to have been realFr Niall Molloy: Unpacking the financial dealings between the priest and the Flynns – The Irish TimesGreed was motive for killing of Fr Niall Molloy, family????????????????????? claims | Irish IndependentSignificant new evidence on killing of Fr Niall MolloyNew evidence on 1985 killing of Fr Niall Molloy comes to lightCastlecoote still reeling from Fr Niall Molloy killing and the rumour mill – The Irish Timeshttps://frniallmolloy.com/The Killing of Father Niall Molloy Part 2 of 2 02 mp4Fr Niall Molloy’s final moments before killing as Galway doctor’s old notebook emerges - GalwayBeoThe Father Of All Cover-Ups | Broadsheet.ieHow Cahill tried to cash in Fr Molloy murder file | Irish IndependentTo access bonus weekly episodes of Red Room join Patreon HERE Hosted on Acast.
