Missing Mary Boyle
THE twin sister of missing Donegal schoolgirl Mary Boyle has vowed to continue her campaign to solve the disappearance after she met Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin in Dublin today.
Ann Doherty has claimed a member of Fianna Fáil interfered with the original inquiry 39 years ago. Mary was six when she was last seen in 1977.
Ms Doherty told RTÉ News that she will never give up looking for justice for Mary.
Journalist Gemma O’Doherty, who accompanied Ms Doherty to the meeting, said they had asked Mr Martin to call for an immediate Dáil debate about the allegations.
They also asked him that a Commission of Inquiry into the issue be set up and request that the Minster for Justice allow an inquest to go ahead in the case.
Ms O’Doherty said justice is achievable and it was not too late for a prosecution.
She urged Mr Martin to “do the right thing by this child”.
Mr Martin said that the very serious claims of wrongdoing are being made against named individuals and that they needed to be thoroughly investigated
He appealed for anyone with information to pass it to gardaí who have a specialist team investigating the case.
