Unsolved Irish Mysteries.

It goes deeper than we thouhgt.

hardly a great cover up when it was in the press since 2017 ?
More likely that they (Garda) didn’t have sufficient evidence

Must either be a confession or finding remains

For sure, but much riskier at night time one would think, especially late at night.

If it was a cover-up while the MEP was alive? why wasn't it brought to a head 2 years ago after the MEP died?

Could it be that someone in FF knew about it and is using it now to disgrace FG a couple of days after the election was triggered?

I wouldn't agree with that. FG have sat on this for 25 or so years and never did anything and yet were branding themselves the party of law and order. They did nothing and should be lambasted for it. It doesn't matter if harris was still in knickers at the time, he is leader of the party now and needs to answer why they did nothing

If the poor girl's body is found and it is wrapped in plastic 10 feet down…

I'm not sure if this is the right time nor place, but I would like to extent my belated condolences to Fine Gael's former MEP and former Irish Farmer's Association president Alan Gillis, who passed away in 2022 at the age of 85.

President of the Irish Farmers Association (IFA), Tim Cullinan has paid tribute to past IFA president, Alan Gillis, who died yesterday, describing him as a passionate and progressive voice for Irish farming.

Alan Leslie Gillis of Ballyhook House, Grangecon, Co Wicklow died peacefully at Craddock House Nursing Home, Naas.

Predeceased by his wife Irene and son Stephen, he is survived by his family, Nigel, Hazel, Barry and Anna, sons-in-law Leonard and Stuart, daughters-in-law Catherine and Wendy, grandchildren, great-grandchild, niece, nephews, extended family, relatives and friends.

That's because of murders like Jo Jo and others ...

Same ole bull **** and for good measure bring the far right into the conversation to boot

One of the most important statements gathered from the public in this case overlooked .The night in question in the early hours,a naked woman was reported to AGS in a distressed state running for her life in the village where JoJo Dollard made her final phone call and yet this verified info was not acted on by AGS is surely a red flag.

Or just pointing out how different things are now.

It was quite pathetic that some individuals are using the horrific death of a young woman to attempt to score political points.
The Gardaí also know who killed Deirdre Jacob. However, like this case, they don’t have the evidence to prove it. The murderer is one of the most notorious individuals in Irish society but they are unable to build a case against him.
In this case, unless something is discovered in the search, or unless he finally cracks, it is probable that he will be released without charge.
The same people who are claiming a conspiracy would have a very different attitude if we were locking people up without evidence.

The murderer is one of the most notorious individuals in Irish society but they are unable to build a case against him.

Your alluding to Larry Murphy again aren't you . . why not just say his name? It's already been mentioned about 1000 times on this thread.

It's also quite possible that he came forward himself. Perhaps it has been playing on his mind and the latest appeal at the weekend was the spark that made him crack. It appears on the surface that the father was the one behind the cover up and it's also quite possible that he was the domineering type who didn't want his own good name tarnished and his comfortable life upended. If that was the case it's possible that his son was afraid to go against him. Apparently he was the one who refused to allow them to search the land and then all talk of a search warrant disappeared. It wasn't the son that did that.

The only thing that goes against that theory is that there have been two extensions to his time in custody. Again though, that might be to allow them time to find the body and to cross the t's and dot the i's.

The other possibility is that a retired Garda may have come forward with what he knew went on at the time.

At this time everything is speculation but the next few hours should be interesting. Please God they find her and her family can eventually find peace. It's certainly looking like their allegations of a cover up were justified which will open a huge can of worms as they've been saying it for so long.

I too am thinking it may be a confession.

The time it is taking to charge maybe the Gardai making sure everything is in order and everyone is in agreement about what is going on and how to proceed.

Apparently the search area is very specific also, so that may be a result of the individual giving very specific details to the Gardai.

Then again that is nothing other than pure speculation on my part, it may be totally different in reality.

Like you say everything is speculation and everything in your post is speculation.
