The Garda Commissioner has ordered a review into the Tina Satchwell murder investigation.

It comes amid criticism from people including the Taoiseach, that Tina Satchwell's remains were missed in the first search in 2017 at their home in Grattan Street, Youghal

The trial of her husband Richard, who's been sentenced to life in prison, heard how there was construction work in the house, along with complaints of a bad smell.

Speaking at a graduation ceremony for new Gardai, Commissioner Drew Harris wants due process to follow

"We want to review that ourselves, like we have the expertise within the organisation, and obviously, then we will be reporting that to the Minister and to the Policing and Community Safety policing  authority, as is our responsibility. But I do think there are, there is definitely lessons that we wish to learn from all of these homicides where it's missing persons, and then convert in time to a homicide investigation"
