Intended legal actions by Clodagh's mother Mary Coll and sister Jacqueline Connolly were signalled a few weeks ago, around the time of their harrowing interview with RTÉ's Claire Byrne.

First came the television interview in which Ms Coll and Ms Connolly laid out in stark terms the many unanswered questions they had surrounding the murders.
