I raise the case of the murder of Una Lynskey in 1971 at Porterstown Lane outside Ratoath in County Meath in my constituency. It was the first and oldest case covered in the recent RTÉ "Crimes and Confessions" programme. The case destroyed a number of families. Ms Lynskey was 19 years old when she was murdered. The case remains unresolved. The Garda investigation into the murder of Ms Lynskey did not deliver justice; it delivered a miscarriage of justice in the case of Martin Conmey and Dick Donnelly, who had his conviction overturned on appeal. Marty Kerrigan was killed. These families have been failed. There are many unanswered questions 15 years later.
