The department of Justice has notified the family of murdered Longford woman Sharon Coughlan that her killer will be transferred back to his native country.
Mother-of-two Sharon Coughlan was brutally attacked and murdered in September of 2007 after being pulled off the street into a vacant house in Longford town in broad daylight.
The Justice Department says it's a long established policy that where possible, prisoners should be allowed serve their sentences close to their families.
this guy killed a mother of 2 young kids just yrds from there home.... WHAT ABOUT HER FAMILY???
PLZ SIGN TO STOP THIS KILLER FROM BEEN SENT TO SERVE HIS SENTENCE IN HIS OWN COUNTRY AND GET SOME JUSTICE FOR SHARON
I just saw the count hit one hundred and honestly my hands were shaking a little bit because I honestly did not think this would move so fast. It feels like people actually care about Sharon and that means everything to me right now even though my head is spinning trying to figure out what happens next.

I honestly cannot stop looking at the screen because the way this is picking up speed is just overwhelming and honestly a bit surreal. It feels like people are finally seeing how unfair this transfer is and I am just sitting here trying to process all the messages coming in because it means so much to know Sharon is not forgotten by anyone.

I keep staring at the signature count and it is just sitting there right under one hundred which is honestly driving me crazy because we need to hit that mark before I can even think about emailing anyone at the department of justice. If you just send this link to a couple other people right now we could actually clear that hurdle before the sun goes down today.

He should serve every single day in an Irish prison. He took a life he needs to pay for it here not back near his own family.

This is a total disgrace. Her poor kids have to grow up without a mother while he gets to go back home. Justice for Sharon.

My heart breaks for her family. He shouldn't get any special treatment after what he did in broad daylight. Keep him here.

Sending him home is a slap in the face to her family. Justice system is a joke honestly.
