  • Mark O'Sullivan: Murder on the Farm
    Dec 16 2025

    When Anne O'Sullivan was diagnosed with terminal cancer, tensions within the family about her will and the division of her substantial plot of land which had already been simmering came further to the surface.

    Soon, Anne would find herself awake before dawn running through fields and ditches to a neighbours house to get help for her son Mark, who had been shot in front of her.

    In this episode of Lines of Enquiry, John tracks the descent into violence and revisits his case notes on the letters that proved crucial to any understanding of events of that tragic day.

  • Kelly Lynch: Beneath the Surface
    Dec 9 2025

    On St Patrick’s weekend 2024, 23-year-old Kelly Lynch travelled from her home in Armagh to Monaghan to support her boyfriend after a sudden death in his family. Two nights later, on the walk home from the pub in the town, on the Friday night of a busy bank holiday, Kelly disappeared.

    She was found in the Ulster Canal on the Sunday morning. Gardaí said Kelly had drowned and quickly confirmed they were not treating her death as suspicious. But as the details emerged, her family were left with devastating questions.

    In this episode of Lines of Enquiry, John Sweetman follows Kelly’s final movements, the contradictions at the heart of the investigation, and the campaign led by a family desperate for answers.
