The trailer for a forthcoming documentary, Mary Boyle: The Untold Story, written and directed by investigative journalist Gemma O’Doherty, about the disappearance of Mary Boyle in Donegal in March, 1977.
It includes interviews with retired sergeant Martin Collins and former detective inspector Aidan Murray (top) who recall a phone call made by a politician to gardaí, during the investigation into Mary’s disappearance, and how the phone call led to certain people not being arrested or questioned.
Mr Murray remembers how, during one interview, he “suddenly got a wee nudge” from his superior officer and was effectively told to “ease off” while questioning a man.
Mary Boyle: The Untold Story will be available in full in the coming weeks.

Who found insurrection a lark
Said “Beating the Brits
May sound tricky but it’s
Like taking a walk in the park.”

Yes.
Because Google drinks everyone‘s milkshake.
…The IAB’s report confirmed the continued dominance of Google in the digital advertising market, with only Facebook coming anywhere close.
Paid search revenues of €176 million in 2015 can be read as a proxy for Google’s share of the market, says Wolfgang Digital chief executive Alan Coleman.
This implies that the tech giant is earning 52 cents in every €1 spent on digital advertising in Ireland.
There you go now.
