Files on 1971 killing 'stored in disused toilet', court hears

Documents relating to the investigation into the killing of Una Lynskey in 1971 were stored in a disused toilet after they were moved from a “rat infested” former Garda Station, the Court of Criminal Appeal heard today.

Superintendent Enda Walsh told the three-judge court that material related to the 19-year-old death had to be stored in “refuse sacks” after it was moved to Drogheda Garda Station from a derelict Garda Station in County Meath, because of the threat of disease from “rats urine”.
