46 bliain ó shin d’imigh Mary Boyle, 6 bliana d’aois, as radharc ó theach a seantuismitheoirí i nDún na nGall. Is í an leanbh is faide atá ar iarraidh in Éirinn í.
Sa dara clár den tsraith reatha, Scannal, déanfaidh a máthair agus a deirfiúr machnamh ar Mary a d’imigh as radharc agus ar an tionchar a bhí aige sin, agus atá aige sin fós, ar an teaghlach.
46 years ago, 6-year-old Mary Boyle vanished from her grandparents' house in Donegal. Despite decades of searching and investigations, no trace of the little girl has ever been found. She is Ireland's longest-missing child.
In the second episode of the current series of Scannal, Mary’s mother and sister reflect on the disappearance of a beloved daughter and sister and the impact it has had, and continues to have, on the family.
It resulted in one of the largest searches ever seen in Ireland. Hundreds of local people, soldiers, Gardai and divers searched for Mary for weeks, but not a single trace was ever found of the little girl. For decades there have been rumours and insinuation about what might have happened to little Mary, but 46 years later, her family is still looking for answers.
D'imigh Mary Boyle, 6 bliana d’aois, as radharc ar an 18 Márta 1977 ó fheirm iargúlta a seantuismitheoirí sa Chaiseal Ard i nDeisceart Dhún na nGall. Cuireadh ceann de na cuardaigh ba mhó dá bhfacthas riamh ar bun in Éirinn mar thoradh air sin. Chaith na céadta as an áit, saighdiúirí, Gardaí agus tumadóirí seachtainí sa tóir ar Mary ach ní bhfuarthas tásc ná tuairisc ar bith ar an gcailín óg.
Leis na deicheanna de bhlianta, bhí ráflaí agus leathfhocail ag gabháil thart faoin méid a d’fhéadfadh a bheith tarlaithe do Mary, ach 46 bliain níos déanaí tá a teaghlach fós ag lorg freagraí.
"Agus díreach roimh am dinnéir, dúirt Mary liom, 'A Mham, rinne mé dearmad póg a thabhairt duit ar maidin' agus rug sí barróg orm agus thug sí póg dom. Is beag a bhí a fhios agam gurb é sin an póg deireanach a thabharfadh sí dom." Ann Boyle, máthair Mary
In this episode of Scannal, Mary’s twin sister, Ann Doherty, and mother, Ann Boyle, speak about the shock of her disappearance, the heartache of not knowing what happened to her and their constant hope of one day finding Mary.
"If someone has any information at all, they may think it is of no importance, but it could be the final piece of the jigsaw that we need to find Mary’s body and for them to put an end to this torture for my family." -Ann Doherty, Mary’s sister

In ainneoin na ndeicheanna de bhlianta a bheith caite i mbun cuardaigh agus fiosrúcháin, ní bhfuarthas tásc ná tuairisc ar an gcailín óg riamh. Is í an leanbh is faide atá ar iarraidh in Éirinn í. Sa dara clár den tsraith reatha, Scannal, déanfaidh a máthair agus a deirfiúr machnamh ar Mary a d’imigh as radharc agus ar an tionchar a bhí aige sin, agus atá aige sin fós, ar an teaghlach.
Sa chlár seo de Scannal, labhróidh leathchúpla Mary, Ann Doherty, agus máthair Mary, Ann Boyle, faoin suaitheadh a baineadh astu nuair a d’imigh sí as radharc, faoin mbriseadh croí a bhaineann le gan bheith ar an eolas faoin méid a tharla di agus faoin dóchas atá acu i gcónaí go n-aimseoidh siad Mary lá éigin.
"Má tá eolas ar bith ag aon duine a cheapann siad, b’fhéidir, nach bhfuil tábhacht ar bith leis ach go bhféadfadh sé gurb é an píosa deireanach de chnámha an scéil atá ag teastáil uainn chun corp Mary a aimsiú le go mbeidh siad in ann deireadh a chur leis an gcéasadh seo atá ar mo theaghlach."
Ann Doherty, deirfiúr Mary.
