A file photo of Joanne Hayes, from High Court website
Sean Murray, in The Journal, reports:
The woman who was wrongly accused of murdering a baby in Kerry in the 1980s has filed High Court action against the State, a year after she received an apology from the Taoiseach over her treatment in the case.
Joanne Hayes is set to sue over being wrongfully arrested and subsequently charged with the murder of ‘Baby John’, whose body was discovered on a beach near Cahirciveen in Kerry.

I’d be ok with millions of my tax euros paying for Joanne to live her life in luxury. She certainly deserved it.
30 years too late unfortunately…
good woman,go get them
Good
Like to see Michael O’Regan try to launder his reputation out of this

Reputation..?
He should really suffer some consequences , for the sake of his colleagues coming up behind him , but he might feel aggrieved as there is no chance of any former state employees suffering any consequences from their participation in these events….
If settlements paid out to victims because of Gardai malpractice were partially paid out of the Garda pension pot , I wonder would it focus minds in the future …

An excellent idea. It’ll never happen.
Watch out for the RTE spin machine to kick in on this one, I’d imagine they will get dozy hole Finucane to assemble a panel of the usual coprophages to digest the bull manure on air.
Here’s a follow up
And a Blast from the Past too I suppose

I’m introducing it to yere day ’cause Eoin reminded us of Micheal O’ Regan
Not all that long ago it was put under his nose
And his reply included the word
condescending
pretty much sums up the Irish Times t’me
Take them to the f’ing cleaners Joanne, no less than what you deserve…
Good on her. Disgusting how she and her family were treated, to say the least.
I will be be on this like a bonnet lads
I’m personally mortified Joanne has had to wait this long for what I think should be upwards of 15 mill for her and her family
However I’m thrilled she has taken it into her own hands and engaged a gun fighter
Sometimes I think
And I’m probably going ta’ take a hiding now for this
But sometimes I think
Maurice McCabe should have waited in line behind Joanne Hayes
While it’s great news
TBF
I’m still harbouring some real disgust
