    3. Harry Gleeson was executed for killing Mary McCarthy [at New Inn], who was shot dead in Tipperary, in November, 1940..... He was sentenced to death and was executed in Mountjoy Prison in April, 1941, just two months after his conviction.... Mr Gleeson will become the first recipient of a posthumous pardon from the State after the Government determined that his conviction was unsafe [unproved]. http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/pardon-for-irish-man-hanged-for-murder-75-years-ago-31112760.html Janet
