Kate Fitzgerald death probe to be re-examined

The Department of Justice is to re-examine the Garda investigation into the 2011 death of PR executive Kate Fitzgerald, after repeated claims from her family the original case was flawed.

Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald confirmed her department has assigned a legal counsel to review the case, in a formal letter to Tom and Sally Fitzgerald sent on August 8.

Kate Fitzgerald’s body was found in her home in Harty Place, Dublin City, on August 23, 2011.
