Garda appeal continues 40 years on from death of Ann Lovett

Gardaí say their appeal continues for anyone with information on the death of Ann Lovett in 1984 to come forward. The 15-year-old schoolgirl died 40 years ago today, hours after she and her stillborn baby were found lying on the ground at a grotto in Granard, County Longford. Her death led to national outcry about the treatment of teenage and unmarried mothers, and helped pave the way for social change.
