Shankill

Anyway.

So it was the local library in Rathmines, which is rather beautiful, but rather austere building, not as cozy as the little Carnegie Library I used to go to when I lived in Shankill or the.

Art Deco Library in Drumcondra.

You know, it's big and imposing.

He could get the Austin started, but he couldn't manage to reverse it out of the garage, so he pushed it backwards onto the road instead.

Once he got moving, he headed south towards Shankill.

Edward said he hadn't switched on the lights until he reached Merrion Gates.

One later account has him going through Cornell's Court and Cabin Teely, then through Shank Hill in the direction of Bray.

They alleged that Edward asked her for the £60 he needed to travel with the Gate Theatre Company.

When Levina refused, they said he went out to the garden shed, took the hatchet and attacked her.

Afterwards, the prosecution said he brought her body to Shankill, left it in the sea and spent the night trying to remove the evidence from St. Helens Road.

It was a murder trial without a body.

Oh, my God.

It goes to Shankill.

It comes about once a year.

Yeah, I

Where did you grow up?

I grew up in Shankill-

Mm

...

[laughs]

... as a fetus.

Uh, but Shankill, it's a mixed bag.

Mm.

Now, what it also, around that, what changes that brought was that juveniles had been, up to that point, considered to be up to the age of 21, so they were dealt with.

They went to places like St. Pat's, they went to Shangana in Shankill, or they went to Spike Island And these were kind of juvenile detention centres for people between the ages of maybe 16, I think, up to 21.

Now, those people who are between the ages of 18, 19 and 20, they're dealt with as adults and they're put into the adult prison system.

Now, what happens is then, as the figures recently released show, people in that age bracket are more likely, 50% more likely to be on a restrictive regime than other prisoners.

a task he successfully completed in just under 8 minutes.

Detectives began to think of nearby places that somebody would hide a body and it was suggested that the abandoned lead mines in Ballycoris, and its tunnels in the hills that overlook Shankill, would be the perfect location.

A posse of Gardaí were sent to search the tunnels and surrounding hills, but nothing of use was discovered.

Across the Irish Sea, police in Wales were asked to watch the coast in case a body should wash up there, but despite the Gardaí's exhaustive efforts, there was still no sign of the body.
