State apologises 40 years on from wrongful conviction of Martin Conmey

Martin Conmey says he drew strength from the release of the Guildford Four in 1989.

Forty years after he was wrongly convicted of manslaughter, he received an apology from the State.

Mr Conmey was convicted in 1973 of killing 19-year-old Una Lynskey, who had been a friend and neighbour in a tight-knit community outside Ratoath, Co Meath.
