    do you think she might be a suspect ?

    I think the person the daughter wanted the gaurds to search their garden with the dogs is probably a bigger suspect?

    Irish society had a dark underbelly, when people complain about the church and the impact it had on society sometimes I wonder about the effect society had on the church.

    Father Niall Molloy, although our betters seem to be involved in that.

    Is it just me or were they kind of alluding to something/someone without saying it outright?

    The Baiba Saulite case.
    The Gardai have a big dirty secret to cover up in that one.
    They got a Prime Time expose pulled hours before it was due to air.

    There was a prominent FF politician in the house the night Molloy was beaten to death. Let's dispose of this case as quikly and quietly as possible.

    The second story you linked to is
    (a) 22 years old
    (b) Refers to a drug seizure in Kilkenny
    (c) Was caused by a Garda Intelligence operation that went wrong

    What either story you have linked has to do with the presumed murder of the woman in Carna is beyond me.
    It refers to:
    And in July 2004 a similar cargo, worth IR£10m, was found on a quiet beach near Ballyconneely in Connemara...

    It's to point out there is a certain lawlessness in more isolated parts.

    How much is IR£10m in euros?

    Lads out in Connemara might be a bit wild at times, but it's a bit of a stretch to suggest they are international drug traffickers!

    I doubt theres a drug trafficking gang natives of Connemara responsible for this!

    What happens in these cases is that a cargo ship, say bound for Galway Docks, anchors to wait for the correct tides, permissions to dock.

    The drugs are then dropped off the side of the ship (obviously attached to some inflatable to allow them to be identified and now with trackers) and collected by small boat by the contacts on land.

    I grew up 20 miles from here, I remember the 80's pretty well but i never heard of this case until 2015 when the media reported the re-opening of the investigation. My friends said the same. It's very sad and my heart goes out to her kids.

    Two things struck me:
    1. Why was she sleeping on the sofa on her own and not in bed ... i know they 'mentioned' on prime time that she was seen having an argument with her husband. The daughters did not say if it was common for mum to sleep on the couch.
    2. People who wear glasses never leave home without them - this was also mentioned by the Garda but not stressed by the relatives during the TV report.
