And a warning before we begin.

This series contains reference to child sex abuse.

Welcome to our seventh and final episode of Pirate Predator.

In previous episodes, we told you about Claire, not her real name, the girl who had Eamon Cook's first child when she was just a young teenager.

Claire has kept silent for over 40 years, but listening to this series as it's been publishing, she decided it was finally time to speak out.

These are her words, voiced by an actor.

You remember that Claire, her child, and her then-boyfriend were targeted by Eamon Cook in a firebomb attack in 1984.

I'm Peter Mulryan from RTE Documentary on One.

This is Pirate Predator.

Episode 7.

Endgame.

This was the case of my career because it took 10 years from start to finish.

This is Detective Inspector Gerry Kelly.

He's the officer who led the investigation into Cook's abuse.

But nobody had any idea of how complex it was all going to turn out.

That's for certain.

Throughout those first months of his investigation in the year 2000, Gerry knew he needed more victims to come forward to ensure Cook would face trial.

Siobhan was certainly very front and centre in this investigation, as was Ang, but Siobhan was providing different details, bits and pieces, names and addresses and people maybe we should contact.

So Gerry began to build a wider case, but many of Cook's victims were scared.

We interviewed several people.
