New three-part series: In 1971, Una Lynskey, 19, vanishes without a trace near her home in Co. Meath. Garda charge three local lads — Martin Conmey, Dick Donnelly and Martin Kerrigan —
with her disappearance. They are innocent. And claim their confessions are coerced.
The Court of Criminal Appeal subsequently declared a miscarriage of justice in Martin Conmey’s case. Dick Donnelly’s manslaughter conviction was overturned on appeal and Martin Kerrigan never faced trial after Una Lynskey’s brothers Sean and James Lynskey and Cousin John Gaughan killed him. They were ultimately found guilty of his manslaughter.
Una's killer is never found. This true-crime series looks at three of the most notorious miscarriages of justice cases from the 1970s and 1980 and draws links between them.
