Gardaí issue renewed appeal for information on 1984 murder case

Gardaí have re-issued an appeal for information as they continue to investigate the murder of 34-year-old Marie Tierney who was fatally injured on a date unknown between October 21, 1984 and December 21, 1984.

Marie was reported missing by her husband on October 22, 1984 after she failed to return after she left their house at Clintstown, Jenkinstown, Kilkenny on the evening of the October 21.

Statements from a number of witnesses put the car she was travelling in (Renault Estate Registration number 35-HIP) abandoned in Newpark at approximately 11.00pm on the October 21.

Marie's body was found in a ditch two months later after it was discovered by a male out walking on the Bleach Road, Kilkenny.

Despite over 500 lines of investigative enquiry and over 200 recorded witness statements, this murder investigation is still very much ongoing.

No arrests have ever been made  for the murder of Marie Tierney.

Gardaí  are appealing to people who have not yet made themselves known to Gardaí or who, for whatever reason, were unable to make themselves available to Gardaí at the material time.

Anyone with information is asked to contact An Garda Siochana in Kilkenny on 0567775000 or on the Garda Confidential Line 1800666111.
