- Ian Bailey died 'a lonely and sad individual' whose life was destroyed by the Irish State, his solicitor has said.
The 66-year-old collapsed and died yesterday afternoon in Bantry, Co Cork after a suspected heart attack.
Mr Bailey became the chief suspect in the murder of 39-year-old French woman Sophie Toscan du Plantier in 1996.
Ms Tuscan du Plantier was murdered outside her holiday home near Toormore, Goleen in Cork on December 23rd, 1996.
Mr Bailey was arrested and questioned twice by Gardaí about the murder but has denied killing Ms du Plantier.
He was convicted of her murder in absentia in France in 2019 and sentenced to 25 years in jail However, the Irish courts refused to extradite him.
Ian Bailey's solicitor Frank Buttimer told Newstalk Breakfast he was in touch with Mr Bailey as recently as last week.
"All very, very unfortunate I have to say; he died a lonely and sad individual whose life was destroyed as a result of what was done to him by the Irish State," he said.

These days, a normal person could not commit such a murder without leaving a trace.
You could if you were in the gardai ?sssshhh
There WAS a trace - the blood- stained GATE!!
@@djharto4917True enough..
Every contact leaves a trace. They just didn't look.
This seems to be part of a long line of epic Garda incompetence. From the Kerry babies to the woman in Waterford who 'dissapeard' only to found under the stairs the Gardai seem to fail on almost every point. Not the sharpest tools in the shed.
She was left on the ground for days as the state patholigist, we only had one, was unavailable ,the Gards were straight out of Craggy island.
It has nothing to do with the Garda. Irish people are getting what they want.
all there fit for is checking tax and nct and insurance@@treborsirrah7916
Not to mention the 5 bar gate which had blood stains on it which mysteriously vanished . You don’t lose a 5 bar gate unless you want to! There was blood on the gate , you can clearly see it in the crime scene photos , my guess is, there’s Sophie’s blood , and blood belonging to someone other than Ian Bailey.
Just like Pat Nugent at Bunratty co clare
The gate going missing from the evidence room! Nothing about that
yes dj .he was framed
That is nonsense-it was sent to dublin to remove the blood for DNA
then returned after 6 years.
Wrong. All evidence removed. Sophies family didn't want it back.
That’s nonsense
The police made a pigs Micky out of this case. Talk about police academy. Laurel and Hardy would have done a better job.
That was the whole of Irish culture. We just accept a poorly run society and pretend it does not exist. And we are obsessed with the big government welfare state but are not bothered about getting the simple stuff right.
@@Art-is-craftIncompetence and corruption is the norm in every section of what I call the Irish public dis-service.
@@shamrockshore6308
The Irish people seem to be happy with it.
Did he didn’t he, we’ll never know for sure. Personally I blame that fact on the Gardaí. They mishandled the crime scene, destroying evidence to the point where the case will most likely never be solved.
It is interesting that the cold case investigation is continuing. Was Bailey their target or has something else come to light?
@@fredbloggs545 I have no idea who the focus of the cold case investigation might be. If Bailey was still the focus it is hard to imagine any new evidence coming to light at this stage. There may be other suspects.
The victim seems to have been something of a celebrity in France. It is possible she had a stalker who followed her over from France. There were theories put forward in that direction.
@@tadghsmith1457BS. Another barstool legal expert.
no he didnt; innocent man; how sad
@@fredbloggs545 Bailey was their target to cover up for the real culprit,one of their own. The locals know who it is, as in every small community people see things.
sick of hearing about those scratches, if Sophie scratched him his DNA would have been found on or under her nails.
Irish police were corrupted so it isn’t a surprise to not hear about dna.
The argument is it was the brambles
Wouldn't trust a word that author says, he just saw a chance to sell a book and make some easy money off a tragedy.
His points are valid, Bailey was a guilty man
If Bailey was in the car in skibereen why was no DNA available?someone else got away with it
And the gate went missing ,where did it go ? some one knows big piece of evidence just went missing unbelievable .
One of the Gards took it home for his farm
Yes helping the sheep penned in to get ja bed @@treborsirrah7916
Why are people surprised by the lack of competency in the Irish state. It has never been a knew thing. They cannot repair potholes and only have 7000 soldiers to defend Ireland.
your right kevin.ian forever under the radar for something he didnt do how awful
I bought the gate off ebay
and a brick .
They made his life miserable
He made his wifes a misery too ! Remember that .
@@dawnburke2756
If that is the case then it is for Jules to say, not you on her behalf.
He was no saint but there isint a shred of edivence against him
So why did he tell people he did it?
@@mliam0709
It was sarcasm in the face of people making absurd accusations to him, read the DPP report, context is everything.
Oh, yes there is. I highly recommend Peter Hayett’s analyses of Ian Baileys statements , The Behaverioul Panel and dr.Gravde.
@@acb5245 so he comes home from the pub pished, sneaks out of the house in the middle of the night, walks 3 miles in the freezing cold, kills sophie, walks home another 3 miles and his partner notices nothing. He must be the scarlett pimpernel..
@@gerarddonovan4145
Not only that but he does so, while pished, leaving no fingerprints, blood, hair, dna, footprint or fibres!
At end of the day there's no proof he done it but they need to look closer
He was already convicted in the court of public opinion (as the guards like to do) so if the guards had any evidence at all they would have brought him to trial and got a conviction. So they had no evidence at all against him. That makes him Innocent. I strongly suspect the truth of this is in France. Sophie came here alone because people close to her cancelled at the last minute. That is strange to me, to leave a loved one alone at Christmas and why then did she not cancel and stay in France for Christmas with those close to her (she was said to be very popular) instead of coming here where she would be alone---or would she be alone here. Did she travel with someone or meet up with them at the house. There was two used wine glasses at the house. Did the police examine them for DNA. The so called female witness who years later retracted her statement was a nutter according to her close relative that I spoke to.
Some people do like to take some time out alone, if it was a man would you think it strange that he was alone?
@@anniegrath1417
In those same circumstances I'd think he was meeting someone and I bet his wife would too.
@@anniegrath1417
When the cold case investigation found that she had met with two French men hiding out locally from organised crime, you don't think it could be anything to do with them?
Or the jealous wife they found out about?
Or the French speaking guy with scratches on his face, driving a car with false number plates, that the team were investigating?
None of those are possible?
@@anniegrath1417 I never met a woman who wanted to be alone at Christmas. Women I know seldom if ever want to be alone. Sophie was to travel with her husband, (I think). So when he cancelled it is strange she did not. She had family and friends in France.
@@usernextuser5385 I know lots of strong independent women who would give their right arm to be alone at Christmas free from stress kids cooking cleaning and feeding the masses 😂
ian bailey rip.
your battle for justice over
@@anniegrath1417
Justice for Sophie is not jailing a potentially innocent person, no matter what warped "justice" France had convicting Bailey using Marie Farrell's *KNOWN* lies.
@@JackBurton-qp4hc Ah will you keep your hair on, where in my comment did I say about jailing anyone ????
@@anniegrath1417
So what did you mean when you said, "But where is the justice for Sophie??" in reply to the OP who was talking *specifically* about Ian Bailey?
@@anniegrath1417An embarrassing reply from someone with nothing constructive to say.
@@Craicwas90. What do you mean???
Regardless if he's guilty of murder or not, Ian Bailey was not a good man, he was a dangerous malignant narcissist.
How do you know.
@@usernextuser5385
He's read it on the Internet so it must be true.
You just described all the woke liberals living in Ireland.
Dangerous malignant Narcissists.
Did you ever meet him?
@@supernova101010
Nah he will have watched Netflix.
Anyone looking for justice for Patrick Nugent, murdered at Bunratty Castle, why is it all about Sophie. RIP both.
The NewsTalk show host is hiding the fact he knew Ian Bailey well and they were "pals".
Facts are irrelevant to people being pals. That fact is that the DPP didn't charge Bailey, *TWICE*
Pathetic interview very flippant with Nick foster .
He was ranting as usual, what do you expect? He is only interested in selling his biased and inaccurate book.
You are so right a most unlikeable know all
Not even in death can they leave this innocent man alone.all this exposed the garda as a corrupt waste of space.
rip ian
I know a lady detective,who travelled from Dublin to Cork. She told me the two glasses had been washed and out back on the dreser,by the local garda. Another cover up?
4:27 ian never did this it was all to do with sophey counry somebody from their
Why is my comment deleted , disgraceful , just goes to show , those who stand by Sophie's family , are vindicated , commentes deleted , & i only spoke from my own gut feeling ,
Will always remember this case the year i got married .
RIP Sophie 🙏
rip Ian also
Gut feelings are not evidence, grow up !
Sophie was in Cork and her husband was in Spain each for a few days before Christmas.
When the Gardai rang her husband in Spain to tell him that Sophie had been murdered he said that he already knew. He said that he had heard it on the radio that morning. So he was listening to R.T.E in Spain? Spohie was not at that stage named.
Ian was an eccentric ENGLISH MAN LIVING IN THE IRELAND WHEN THIS TERRIBLE CRIME TOOK PLACE, i went over that case in minute detail, down as far as where the Garda paid a Man, with also giving him Drugs to befriend Ian Baily and 100 other things i could mention...........REST IN PEACE IAN.........REST IN PEACE SOPHIE! Ian Baily was am innocent Man!
Everybody commenting hes an innocent man he beat his woman 3 times regardless of this murder surely he deserved to be punished for that alone??
He was convicted for domestic violence, so what point are you making? DV does not mean murderer. If it did then many people would be suspects too as it was common in 90s Ireland.
The fact that you didn't know that he had been convicted for it means your grasp of the facts is non-existent.
I would like to know if they considered a hit, organised by her husband, due to family issues.
That might have been difficult to investigate for the Gardi as her husband was prominent with friends in high French places.
@@rosemarykennedy5430
Friends with the French President, no less!
id say he had of all that money talks... ideal in a west cork location in 1996
Cops got a warrant to go into serch his place today or yesteday bit late now and the man dead typical guards . Probably find him guilty now and he under the sod lol
Marie Farrell was told to put him at the bridge....Garda wanted to pin it on Ian. He's innocent.
He may be innocent or he may not. We will never know. Watch now when he id dead the amount of claims that will be made in the media.
@@Art-is-craft
We may know from the cold case if others were suspect though, especially if advanced DNA testing is used.
yes
@@JackBurton-qp4hc
I was under the impression that they do not have a sample.
@@Art-is-craft
A sample of what?
He was an innocent man. RIP.
Innocent....Not.
Nope.
@@acb5245
Yet the Irish DPP who, unlike you, saw all the evidence, refused to charge him twice.
The French had to use Marie Farrell's lie that she saw him, they literally convicted him using LIES, yet you are happy with them doing it.
Now you are even accusing Jules of being involved, that is how low you have gone.
Wrong. Guilty af
@@MCE851
Then you will have evidence that the DPP who refused to charge him, twice, don't have.
Well then, what is it?
He was an innocent man. R.I.P.
No he wasnt. Watch Peter Hyatts analyses , the begaviroul panel and dr. Grande.
@@acb5245
You agree with them due to your confirmation bias. They are simply saying what you want to hear.
@@delgirldel How do you know that?
Why did he cut first speaker off
Because Nick Foster is a biased hack and went off on a rant, being disingenuous. His one and ONLY purpose is to sell his poorly written and inaccurate book.
Read the 2001 Irish DPP report.
@fredbloggs545 Well what was the point in asking him to come on then
@@debee1544
Perhaps in the hope that he would not spew further BS?
@debee1544 it's the way that show operates. It's a Breakfast show - very quick interviews - I find it annoying how they rush guests.
easy to blame a dead man!
I solely feel bad for Sophie's family.
No mention of the community that suffered for so long
Suffered from what?
Folks had to have guarda protection from him it shook the community guilty or not ,some left ,he was intimidating people,
What about Sophies family ? Community suffered 😮 give me break , tell that to her son & family , what planet are you on eh ?
How do you think his wife felt?
@@dawnburke2756 what break do you need
He had scratches.scribbles on a piece of paper.Nick ???
You cut down fir trees and you will have scratches on you as well,
in various newspapers (and in the later "West Cork" documentary), there was a report of a "suspicious" Frenchman turning up at a travel agents in Galway 4 hours after Sophie's body was found looking for a hotel near Dublin airport and a flight back to France. The travel agent is certain it was the man who was later identified as a friend of Sophie's. He also matched the description of the man that Marie Farrell initially claimed to have seen near the bridge (sallow skin and of medium height - different to Bailey). The cops ruled him out though and the man himself said he hadnt seen Sophie in 2 years or so.
Someone needs to lean on Jules Thomas, now that beast Bailey is gone. She is guilty as sin.
Her daughter said ,she and Ian both went out that night, is she guilty.
@mrsmacca126
Her daughters supported Bailey's version of events, so the whole family are in on it, right?
What a pillock.
Arrogance from the presenter parroting the official Ireland view. The author wrote a very detailed book on this and knows a lot more about it than the presenter
What does Frank Buttimer mean when he says Ian Baileys life was destroyed by the Irish state when the DPP of the state of Ireland decided not to prosecute him thus exonerating him from the muder.?
The "state" is more than one institution.
@@fredbloggs545 whether he was innocent or guilty of any crime he brought a lot of it on himself after his failed supreme court acton against the Irish state and the Gardai.
@@thoskel1
He defended his innocence so brought it upon himself? Have you heard yourself?
People aren't allowed to defend their reputation???
Jules Thomas's interviews regarding his death so so cold ....not a feeling in the world for the man ...says a lot about her .
She was used as a punch bag for years. Why would you have an ounce of compassion for someone who did that in front of her kids.
The fact that he bait her black and blue says a lot about him? Yet the majority seem to be turning a blind eye to that for some reason.
"So so cold"...were you expecting warmth from a woman who Bailey beat black and blue. Get a grip.
She stuck by him for years.
@@namelastname1085 But why did she stay with him. She admit that the fights erupted when both had taken too much drink.
Ian, Bailey rip,
Rip, Ian, Bailey

Now, we'll be hearing Stories that weren't even Whispered back in the Day.

Nick Foster- LOVE your book!!!!!!!! You cleared up EVERYTHING for me.❤👏💗
Also Watch Peter Hayetts analyses of Ian Baileys statements and the Behaverioul Panel.

Are you going to do Brian MCGinley and spam this across RUclips?
6:50
French govt. found him guilty , after reading garda files. Buttimer cleaned up on legal aid funded by Irish taxpayer.
Rest In peace Mr Bailey 🙏
