“Mr Bailey said that Mr Cassidy informed him that there had been a murder outside Schull and that it was understood to involve a person who was a foreign national. There was a suggestion that the person involved might be French – details Mr Cassidy would later insist he had not been aware of at that time.”

“GSOC was specifically asked to submit statements its officers had received from Mr Bailey, Jules Thomas, Marie Farrell and former British Army soldier Martin Graham. It was Mr Graham who claimed he had been offered drugs and cash by gardaí in return for agreeing to help secure incriminating statements against Mr Bailey.”

“In 2007 ASSOPH, in consultation with Sophie’s family and solicitors, Alain Spilliaert and Eric Dupond-Moretti, came to the realisation that, if Ireland wouldn’t sanction a prosecution for its own legal reasons, a French-led investigation could potentially lead to criminal proceedings against Mr Bailey in Paris. The association’s campaign was boosted by the calibre of the people involved. Sophie’s uncle, Jean-Pierre Gazeau, was the president of ASSOPH and a driving force in both its foundation and subsequent work. Mr Gazeau was a mathematician and physicist who specialised in quantum physics and came to rank as one of France’s top academics. Quiet, polite and fluent in English and Spanish, he brought the logic, planning and determination of an academic to the work of ASSOPH. It also helped that Mr Gazeau was well versed in international negotiations. As one of the top physicists in France, he was a visiting consultant and researcher with science foundations and universities in the United States, Japan, Canada, China, and even Iran.”
