A DAUGHTER of murder victim Jason “Jay” Hennessy Snr and two extended family members have been charged with enhancing an organised crime gang and drug distribution in west Dublin.

Jade Hennessy, 33, of Sheephill Avenue, Kayleigh McEntee, of Waterville Row, and Kirsty Travers, of Edgewood Lawns, all in Blanchardstown, were remanded in custody yesterday.

Judge David McHugh heard at Blanchardstown District Court that the three women had been further charged under section 72 of the Criminal Justice Act, 2006.

According to court documents, between March 12 and May 1 last year, for enhancing the ability of a criminal organisation, they facilitated the distribution of controlled drugs in Dublin 15, and “participated in and contributed to an activity of the organisation”.
