Celyn Eadon was released despite the fact that he had been remanded in custody by Castlebar District Court in February 2011.

Approximately three weeks after his release Mr. Eadon was charged with the unlawful killing of his mother and in February 2014 he was convicted of her murder.

The GSOC report indicates that the release of Mr Eadon occurred due to a number of deficiencies on the part of the Gardaí.
