Government under fire over claims of report cover-up

THE Government was accused of covering up the events surrounding the Monageer deaths after parts of a report into the murder-suicide were blacked out.

Labour Party leader Eamon Gilmore told the Dáil that “this is a cover-up of some kind”, holding up pages of the report with large sections crossed out.

The report, published on Tuesday, was ordered after the murder-suicide of Adrian Dunne, 29, his wife Ciara, 24, and their children Leanne, 5, and Shania, 3, at their home in Monageer in April 2007.
