A man has admitted to the killing of Irish journalist Eugene Moloney in June last year, reports the BBC.
Gary Burch, 21, from Templeogue Co Dublin, pleaded guilty today at the Dublin circuit criminal court to Moloney's manslaughter in a Dublin street. He will be on bail while awaiting sentence in June.
Moloney, 55, was on his way home from a night out with friends when he was attacked. He died in hospital.
Originally from Donegal, he began his career at the Irish News in Belfast where he reported throughout the troubles in the 1970s and 1980s.
He then moved to the Irish Independent in Dublin where he worked for more than 20 years. After taking redundancy he travelled widely, particularly in south east Asia, and on his return to Ireland became a freelance news reporter.
