Ms Lynch's mother, Julieanne, said the Garda peer review, ordered by the Garda Commissioner, has identified more than 20 recommendations into the investigation, which included a recommendation that a file is to be prepared for the Coroner.

Gardai confirmed to Northern Sound this week that the peer review has now been concluded.
