Who was Niall Molloy?

Father Niall Molloy was a Catholic priest who was killed in mysterious circumstances in Kilcoursey House in Clara, County Offaly, the home of Richard and Therese Flynn. When the Garda Síochána arrived, they found that there were signs of violence in the Flynn's bedroom and that there was a large bloodstain on the carpet. Flynn was charged with manslaughter and with actual bodily harm. The priest died hours after the wedding of the Flynns' daughter Maureen.In 2011, a medical examination of brain tissue, kept after the original post-mortem revealed that there was a high probability that the priest was alive up to six hours after the initial attack and therefore may have lived if medical help had been summoned. Father Molloy was parish priest of Castlecoote, Co.Roscommon at the time of his death
