Learning Points: Nichola Sweeney's parents should not have to suffer further

Cork is one of those special cities. A place where everyone is somehow connected to each other, where your neighbour has your house key and is there when you need support or a bottle of milk. So, when something tragic happens it happens to us all, because, as I said, we are all connected.

I still remember hearing the news about the murder of Nichola Sweeney in 2002. It is one of those cases that stayed with me over the years.
