Root-and-branch review of the entire investigation thought to run to at least 5,000 files

The case file runs to at least 5,000 pages and occupies an entire room in a West Cork garda station, meaning the cold case review of Sophie Toscan du Plantier's murder could take well into next year to complete even with the deployment of new investigative techniques.

Drew Harris says that Gardaí have "decided that this is worth doing, and it’s worth applying resources to this".

'My prayer has always been from day one that the truth comes out,' says Ian Bailey.

Ian Bailey's solicitor said that he is aware of a new witness who claims to have seen a suspect on the night.

The French filmmaker was found murdered near her holiday home in West Cork in 1996. No one has been charged with her murder in Ireland.

Just last month Ian Bailey claimed he had informed movie director Jim Sheridan in his recent documentary that he was willing to be filmed taking a lie detector test

'To my eye she wouldn't have been the most beautiful of people'

Bailey will discuss the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier, his own theory about the case, and Pierre Louis Baudey-Vignaud's Late Late Show appeal with Colette Fitzpatrick next week

Mr Bailey has called on Garda Commissioner Drew Harris to open a cold case review of the crime, which he believes will clear his name.

“It’s been 25-years. The truth has not arrived yet. We must end this story, for me, for my mother, for Irish people,” Pierre Louis Baudey-Vignaud said

Frank Buttimer made the comments following French President Emmanuel Macron’s suggestion yesterday that a new trial could be arranged for “condemned man” Ian Bailey in France - if he agreed to come

Should they pursue it, the next step might be to bring Ireland to the European Court of Justice for failure to recognise the murder conviction, writes Michael Clifford

Mr Macron said that if the "person condemned" agreed to come to France, a new trial "could be organised".

Ian Bailey claims he pays no attention to his local celebrity status — some would describe it as notoriety — but his denials lack all credibility, writes Mick Clifford

Ian Bailey speaks to Mick about how two recent documentaries on the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier in 1996 have awoken interest in the case

Sophie: A Murder In West Cork is the second documentary on the brutal murder of Sophie Tuscon du Plantier to be released in recent weeks

Sophie: A Murder in West Cork was released today and made by Netflix and production company, Lightbox.

That Ian Bailey has never been charged in Ireland with the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier is a vindication of how we prosecute crime in this country and of the independence of institutions that underpin our democracy

Pierre-Louis Baudey-Vignaud was just 15 when his mother was brutally slain.  He has taken part in the new Netflix series, Sophie: A Murder in West Cork, in order to help keep the case in the public eye and eventually find the killer 

Mr Bailey watched the first two episodes of the Sky Crime series Murder at the Cottage, which focuses on the death of Sophie Toscan du Plantier

Jim Sheridan's new series on Sky about the killing of Sophie Toscan Du Plantier may have been hit by the withdrawal of interviews by the victim's family, but it still provides an intriguing look at aspects of the unsolved case 

Ian Bailey has said he 'probably won't see' a new documentary series on the death of French filmmaker Sophie Toscan du Plantier because he doesn't have the TV channel.

The filmmaker's new series on the Co Cork killing of Sophie Toscan du Plantier begins this weekend.  For Sheridan, Murder At The Cottage was much more than just a job 

Murder at the Cottage: The Search for Justice for Sophie will air on Sky Crime on June 20
