'Niall Boylan provided a platform to Molly Martens after she killed my father,' says Jason Corbett's daughter

The daughter of Jason Corbett has said that Niall Boylan gave a platform to Molly Martens after she killed her father.

This comes after Niall Boylan announced he is stepping down as a late night presenter on Classic Hits FM to run in the European Parliament elections, for the Independent Ireland party.

Sarah Lynch-Corbett, the daughter of Limerick businessman Jason Corbett, said on X (formerly Twitter): "Niall Boylan provided a platform to #MollyMartens after she killed my father, subsequently causing ongoing harm to my life. I am the daughter of #JasonCorbett, who was abused by Molly Martens."

Jason Corbett's sister, Tracey Corbett Lynch also commented on X: "Our family is deeply aware of Niall Boylan's lack of concern. He does not show empathy, he does not pay attention, and he negatively impacts lives. It is disheartening hear this news. We witness Niall Boylan exacerbate issues and pose as a person of integrity."

Molly Martens, 40, and her father Tom Martens, 73, have been sentenced for the manslaughter of Jason Corbett. Originally, they were convicted of second-degree murder, but the pair later agreed to a plea deal, and accepted the charges of voluntary manslaughter. 

The comments made on X by Jason Corbett's family refer to an interview done by Niall Boylan in 2015 on 4FM, during which Martens broke down in tears several times, as she said she had not spoken to Jason Corbett's children since they left America.

“I am not very well,” she said at the time. “I am distraught. They are my children, and anyone who has children would understand the pain I’m in. I’m very appreciative to have the opportunity to say I love you and happy birthday [to Sarah].”

After the interview aired, over a 1,500 people called for the boycott of the Niall Boylan show.

Martens had cared for Jack and Sarah Corbett for about eight years, first as a nanny, following the death of Jason’s first wife Mags in 2006. Later, the four of them moved to North Carolina and Martens married Corbett.

Jason Corbett was killed in his home on Sunday, August 2, 2015.
