Meanwhile, further to the documentary Mary Boyle: The Untold Story, written and directed by Gemma O’Doherty…

RTÉ reports:

A specialist garda unit is to take a fresh look into the disappearance of six-year-old Mary Boyle, who was last seen almost 40 years ago in Co Donegal.

The Serious Crime Review team will scrutinise the case from when Mary was first reported missing in March 1977.

If anything new is uncovered or warrants further investigation it will be followed up.
