Galway Bay fm newsroom - The government has agreed to posthumously pardon a man who was wrongfully convicted and hanged following the Mám Trasna murders of 1882.
It's to advise President Michael D. Higgins to exercise his constitutional right to grant a pardon to Maolra Seoighe.
This injustice has been highlighted in a TG4 film, Murdair Mhám Trasna, which is to be broadcast next Wednesday.
The case is seen by experts as one of the most famous miscarriages of justice in British & Irish legal history.
