Re-interment of Henry (Harry) Gleeson, Galbertstown, Thurles, formerly Marlhill, New Inn, Co.Tipperary The family of Henry (Harry) Gleeson rejoice in announcing the final homecoming of his remains to his native Galbertstown. Having languished in an unmarked grave in Mountjoy Prison for eighty-three years wrongly convicted and hanged for a murder in which he ''had neither hand act or part''. Harry's remains can finally rest in peace having been declared an entirely innocent man. Betrayed by the very system that should have protected him it fell to others to restore his good name and bring him home.

Harry, may your innocent soul enjoy the happiness of Heaven knowing that truth and justice finally prevailed.
