Alison O’Reilly discusses the latest developments in the case.

Forty-two years after his lifeless body was discovered on White Strand near Cahirciveen, Co Kerry, a file has been sent to the DPP in relation to the violent death of an infant known only as Baby John.

Irish society was rocked by the discovery of two dead babies in different parts of Co Kerry in 1984. One of those babies, named John by the local undertaker, was found with stab wounds on the White Strand in Cahirciveen.
