And Clare, who, like Mary, never got to have her evidence heard in court.

Those involved in bringing Cook to justice believe his victims number into the hundreds.

They have also been living with the consequences of his actions for decades, some driven to addiction or suicide.

And then there are Cook's own children, including another daughter, who wrote a letter to us, part of which is read here by an actor.

We know that many of Cook's children changed their names, moved countries, moved continents and gained a whole new identity.

All were marked in various ways by the actions of their father.

Another of Cook's daughters also sent us a statement, part of which is read here by an actor.

Given Cook's prolific abuse and decades of operating with apparent immunity, survivors like Siobhan feel a comprehensive state inquiry is long overdue to finally ask the difficult questions.

We've said it before and we'll say it again as we bring this series to a close.

Siobhan and Anne and all the victims and people who stood up to Eamon Cook, whether in court or in Radio Dublin, whether behind the scenes or in the shadows,

They are all the heroes of a story that should never have happened and never been allowed to happen.

Throughout the last 50 years, Siobhan and Anne have remained close friends, a testimony to their faith and trust in each other.

Even through the hard times, they managed to find a way to eventually get justice and place one of Ireland's most prolific ever paedophiles behind bars.

For me, I came into this project to try and make sense of a story I stumbled into over 40 years ago.

Having spent the last six months working on this series and meeting with so many people with knowledge of it, I'm now left with more questions than answers.

But the one above all others is, how did Eamon Cook get away with it all for so long?

Stay tuned for a bonus episode featuring some of the 80 plus tips we received from listeners and those full statements from Eamon Cook's children and others.
