OB there is no such thing as an "internal investigation".

Picture it, say if MM was to ask the "longest serving councillor" if he interfered in the investigation, and the "longest serving councillor" says no?

What then?

End of story.

The "longest serving councillor" has already publicly stated that he had no involvement.

Sorry to be blunt about it but that's the reality.

Don't expect anything back from FF in this.

They're not going to be seen to entertain what is essentially a rumour and would quite legitimately say that it is a matter for an Garda Siochana to investigate.

Remember AFAIK (unless you've got something that hasn't been broadcast) there was no actual name mentioned.

There was innuendo and there were allegations of clever editing.

If you have got something that hasn't been broadcast, specifically a lead detective naming the alleged individual who allegedly interfered in the investigation talk to a solicitor.

Talking about FF and Michael Martin only perpetuates the political football thing, when in reality, with the line of investigation that remains based around M getting lost and remaining a missing person, it can never be said that this case was thoroughly investigated or investigated properly.

That is where I would be focusing priorities.

What is preventing the review team of the Gardai from deeming this a possible murder case as opposed to insisting it is a simple vanishing persons case?

Get a written answer for that from the review team.

That's a good idea, imo.

It is the only avenue open that I can see.

But it must be a written response.

Then, even if it's a point blank refusal to outline any reasons (which may well be legitimate) there is something physical there that he can scan and post up here, and forward to other media outlets.

That and the "imminent" report that must surely be due any minute now from one of the Garda teams reviewing the 40 year Garda investigation.

I've asked Barry to let us have our viewpoint put across, so far no reply from him

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a response.

It's too late now.

Watch the program and if it contains the same 40 year old story with no references to the two ex gardai making claims elsewhere, consider having a complaint to the BAI drawn up on the basis of the program presenting just one possible scenario and ignoring the recent concerns of other family members and ex gardai in the context of the program failing to meet any requirements for balanced reporting.

It's function is to ensure the public interest is served by public broadcasting.

But maybe we are jumping the gun, maybe the programme will indeed cover Margo's media campaign and carry excerpts from Gemma O Doherty's documentary and report on the recent tabloid front page exlusive news story of the fisherman claiming to have told gardai he saw Mary being driven away on the day in a VW beetle.

I've just spoke to my mother a woman of the same age as Mrs Boyle and who would have grown up in a similarly rural remote desolate place.
She says that Mrs Boyle is lying when she says that"daddy" said to her twice when she was washing up to "keep an eye on the children".
That absolutely never happened. He never said that. It would never have occurred to that man that those children needed to be checked on. Not that day in that house and not ever.
So why does she lie?

Were 'the footprints of a child' the new evidence?

I think Mrs Boyle has invented a set of footprints and a sweet wrapper to bring little Mary nearer to that road.
And away from the house and the family.
