Hmmm…I don’t remember posting anything about this and I can’t see any posts by me regarding this. Not really a big deal but confusing.

Solicitor for Mike Gaine murder suspect makes bombshell claim about client

Exclusive: Lawyer Pat Mann also says he does not expect Kelley - a self-admitted suspect in the Kerry farmer's murder - to be rearrested by gardai

I do think it's interesting that he's stayed, more or less, around the area. I'd imagine housing for him would've been far easier to source in Tralee than the backhole of nowhere in Kerry (I call it that with love, I also live in a backhole of nowhere area).. and the solicitor is correct, he has made no attempt to hide himself.

I haven't really seen enough of him to judge his personality.. is he the type of person who'd be so certain he won't be caught, that he'd fearlessly stay in the same area? Is he a bit of a loon?

"Tributes to the farmer have not stopped since his death last year, with the local community honouring his memory in Kerry.

“In November at the Killarney Historic Rally, Janice, Michael's wife, donated a cup to the rally and they instituted what's called the 'Carrig Cup.' It's the Mike Gaine perpetual trophy,” he explained.

The Killarney District and Motor Club also held a gathering at the Kenmare Golf Club in memory of Michael Gaine and in recognition of the Carrig Cup.

“It was a night of memories of Mike and to recognise both him and his contribution [to the club].”

“He was the heart of rallying in the Kenmare area and part of the Killarney District Motor Club,” he added.'
