Clearwater double murder review

Summary

Deputy Daly asked for a review or cold-case referral in the unsolved murders of Mark Noonan and Glen Murphy. The Minister for Justice said she was willing to discuss the case, but any cold-case review would be for the Garda.

There will be a continuity Fianna Fáil party in Clare by then.

I wish to raise the case of Mark Noonan and Glen Murphy, two young men, two cousins, who were not involved in any type of criminality and who were gunned down at Clearwater in Finglas 13 years ago this month. To date, nobody has been charged in connection with the double murder. While the family has received good contact from Finglas Garda station, they are frustrated at the seeming lack of progress in the investigation. I am asking that the Taoiseach or the Minister for Justice might speak with the gardaí in Finglas and have a review of the case or else refer it to the cold-case review team so a fresh pair of eyes can look at this case.

I am happy to discuss this particular case with the Deputy. Any decision to carry out a cold-case review would need to be taken by the Garda, but I am happy to discuss it with the Deputy later.
