Gemma O'DohertyEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

Let’s revisit so-called investigative journalist Gemma O’Doherty’s award-winning documentary on missing child Mary Boyle released on July 4, 2016. The YouTube documentary focuses on the disappearance in 1977 of the then six-year-old girl in Co. Donegal. The little girl followed her uncle across the fields from her grandparents’ home before turning back, never to be seen again. Mary Boyle remains Ireland’s longest-running missing child case. No body was ever found. No crime scene to analyse. As the credits roll at the end of the documentary, O’Doherty gives thanks to former Epstein lawyer Paul Tweed who also helped her win a High Court defamation case in January 2015 including an undisclosed sum for damages against her former employers Independent News and Media. She even got an apology. Tweed - known for representing a slew of in da club celebrities including Liam Neeson, Jennifer Lopez, Justin Timberlake, Kelsey Grammer, Nicolas Cage, Harrison Ford, Ashton Kutcher and Johnny Depp - was also there by Gemma O’Doherty’s side in December 2014 for an unfair dismissal case at the Employment Appeals Tribunal which she won. Incredibly. The context to that case has been previously covered on this Substack . Paul Tweed is in the headlines for his correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein following the financier’s 2008 conviction by a Florida state court for soliciting a prostitute and procuring a child for prostitution. Choosing to defend Epstein’s reputation in the media was a bad move for Tweed. It undermines his own reputation. Especially now that the Internet is poring over his emails to Epstein, released in a massive file dump that has rocked the world. Things will never be the same again. Babylon is burning. Heads are rolling even in the absence of arrests and proper mainstream coverage of the seriousness of the crime network uncovered. The story is too big to bury. The mainstream media has lost control of the narrative as people take matters into their town hands and research for themselves. It’s a horror show. Epstein will go down in history as one of the most prolific pedophiles to walk this earth, a Jimmy Savile type predator who got away with murder on an industrial scale. Darker still, Epstein was a symptom of an evil system that continues to work in the shadows to this day waiting for us to move on to the next distraction. Paul Tweed claims he never met Epstein in person or visited his private island but choosing to represent a man with such a criminal record does not reflect well on the Belfast solicitor, regardless. He categorically rejects the suggestion that he acted in any way inappropriately, according to The Belfast Telegraph. As for his business relationship with anti-corruption journalist Gemma O’Doherty. Tweed represented her again in August 2016, for another defamation case against Independent News and Media for an article (below) by Maeve Sheehan which questioned the production of her Mary Boyle documentary. The outcome of this case is unclear but the offending article remains online. Report reads: A second garda who contributed to a documentary about the disappearance of Mary Boyle has denied claims of political interference in the investigation of the case. Retired detective sergeant Aidan Murray, who featured in Mary Boyle: The Untold Story, has claimed the programme was “selective” and “misleading” in how it presented his interview.<
