A mother's determination driven by the loss of a child has led to Julieanne Lynch getting the Garda Commissioner to review the original police investigation into her daughter's death.
The body of her 23-year-old daughter, Kelly, was found by the banks of the Ulster Canal in Monaghan Town on St Patrick's Day this year.
Since she learned of Kelly's death Julieanne suspected foul play at hand, The Gardaí on the other hand did not treat the young woman's death as suspicious. The head of An Garda Síochana, Commissioner Drew Harris, has listened to Julieanne's reasons for fearing foul play and has agreed to open a review into the original investigation.
It's important to note that while the Commissioner has ordered a peer review, the Gardaí's original investigation remains open at this time. When Zoe Tunney spoke to Julieanne she explained that a mother's instinct does not die with a child.
