A priest and his housekeeper abandon a baby girl on the doorstep of
a house near the Black Church in Dublin's north inner city in
February 1923. Three local women notice the couple's suspicious
behaviour and apprehend them. The two are handed over to the
police, charged and sent for trial. A month later, a young doctor
is shot dead on the streets of Mohill, Co. Leitrim. The two
incidents are connected, but how? In the days following the
shooting of Dr Paddy Muldoon, the name of a local priest was linked
to the killing and rumours abounded of a connection to the events
in Dublin a month earlier and also that an IRA gang had been
recruited to carry out the murder. However, despite an
investigation at the time, the murder remained unsolved for almost
100 years. Now, newly discovered archive material from a range of
sources, including the Muldoon family, has made it possible to
piece together the circumstances surrounding the doctor's death,
and reveals how far senior figures in the Church, State and IRA
were willing to go to cover up a scandal.
