Thu, Dec 01, 2022
Fresh appeals for information leading to the capture of the murderer of Galway taxi-driver Eileen Costello O'Shaughnessy were made yesterday as Mayor Clodagh Higgins unveiled a plaque on the 25th anniversary of her death.

Describing it as a crime which shocked the nation, Mayor Higgins said that it was incumbent on anyone who had information relevant to the investigation that they come forward and contact Gardai.
