Cahersiveen

And there's no express references to it, but they reckon that Martin Luther King Jr. also was a disciple of O'Connell's methods.

So here you have a man from Cahersiveen who shifted the British Empire in its policies towards Irish Catholics and nationalism, and also managed to involve or change things in America and India.

And, of course, anti-slavery.

And, you know, that harmed him in the United States to some degree.

But, um, tell us a bit about that.

Now, this is a complex story, but, um, I suppose to bring it up to date, the baby had been found washed up on a beach in Cahersiveen in a kind of an industrial or a, in a fertilizer bag, wasn't it? And this baby had been born alive and healthy and stabbed to death, um, and dumped.

They never could find the identity of the mother of this child.

A local woman, Joanne Hayes, um, was treated appallingly by this Heavy Squad.

You take it up there and, and remind us about that.

Yeah.

Well, so, um, the body of Baby John, as he was known, was found on White Strand in Cahersiveen on April, in April 1984 by a farmer, a guy called Jack Griffin, who was running.

He was, he was, he was on a jogging, uh, jogging across the, the beach, and he discovered what he thought was a doll in the first instance, and then went back with his brother-in-law to look more closely, and it was a baby.
