I think there was an initial attempt to hush it up maybe but once it was on the 'what's in the papers ' section of the following Fridays LLS it sparked huge interest. There was a huge outpouring of emotion about it, esp on Gay Byrnes radio show.
Iirc the father was her boyfriend of the time. There's a really good podcast on it but I can't remember who did it at the moment. If I remember I'll throw up a link.

The Heavy Gang who investigated murders in Ireland in the 70s/80s are long discredited..Didn't RTE have that Detective Jerry o carroll on numerous times giving court. He was castigated in his handing of the Johanne Hayes case
I wonder if RTE are try to contact hime for a comment now.
At can some reporter give him a shout for a comment on latest developments
If not given voluntarily, an order is required.I don't think so, maybe with a court order
Isn't it amazing the interest in 2 dead children in Kerry but there's very little about the almost 800 found in a cess pit in Tuam and God only knows how many in Bessboro and others like it. Looks like the good oul' Catlick Church still has a firm grip on things here.If not given voluntarily, an order is required.

You’d have to imagine the guards know exactly who it is now. This is just procedural now I suspect. The poor baby.
Some incredible US based crime programs show how unsolved murders and abandoned children from 40-50 years ago are now being solved through the most modern day DNA. “The Boy in the Box” is a famous one that’s relevant to Kerry case.
You’re not wrong there.. in holy Catholic ireland the eradication of sin became more important that the well being of people, especially women and children.Isn't it amazing the interest in 2 dead children in Kerry but there's very little about the almost 800 found in a cess pit in Tuam and God only knows how many in Bessboro and others like it.

BTW before any bollox jumps in to get stuck in me, I could have been one of those statistics.
That was a chilling read.Hope they can catch these.
