The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was arrested on Monday, July 11, and taken into custody. She was later charged with murder and appeared before a special sitting of Cork District Court on Tuesday, July 12. The court heard that the woman had made no admissions in relation to the charge.

The defense did not object to the adjournment, and the woman was remanded in custody to appear before Cork District Court again on Monday, July 18. A large garda investigation is ongoing, and the scene of the crime remains preserved for technical examination. The victim’s family has been informed, and they are receiving support from gardaí.

Cork on Tuesday, February 6, 2024. Friends and family of the late Mr. Foley jeered as the defendant, Linda O’Flynn, 31, of Leeside Apartments, Cork, arrived at court. Court presenter Inspector Kay O’Donoghue told the court Ms. O’Flynn faced a single charge of murder. Giving evidence for arrest and caution charge, Detective Garda Denis Curtin said Ms. O’Flynn was arrested at Bandon Garda Station and charged with the murder of Mr. Foley. He said that when Ms. O’Flynn was charged, she said another individual “stabbed that man, not me, I had nothing to do with it.” A clearly distraught Mrs. O’Flynn said she needed psychiatric help to “save me from the trauma I have seen” and repeated to the court that she was innocent. Mrs. O’Flynn also said she feared for her safety and would need protection if she was detained. And he added: “I did not murder anyone, I am innocent until proven otherwise.” Defense lawyer Diarmuid Kelleher said that as bail could not be granted on a murder charge in the district court, he intended to make an application to the High Court on Monday. He said his client was very distressed and, as a former heroin addict, needed her daily Soboxone medication. She also asked the court to make psychiatric support available to her while she was in custody. Inspector O’Donoghue told the court that the Director of Public Prosecutions had given consent for Ms. O’Flynn to be sent to trial. Judge James McNulty said authorities would make “appropriate arrangements” to ensure his safety and well-being in custody. He remanded Ms. O’Flynn to appear again on Friday, June 21 at Bandon District Court.
