A Channel 4 documentary delves into the suffering of one single mother at the hands of the Irish police, and viewers want to know what happened to Joanne Hayes.
New Channel 4 documentary Murdered: The Baby on the Beach revisits the Kerry babies case, in which a five-day-old boy's body was discovered on a beach in County Kerry, Ireland, in 1984. The event brought shame on the then conservatively-minded Irish state, and the aftermath raised questions about the attitudes towards unmarried mothers in Ireland.
