- Ian Bailey is speaking to the Neil Prendeville show and says he believes he will be convicted of the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier in an upcoming French trial in May.
The former journalist says he won’t attend the Paris trial. The 39-year-old mother-of-one was bludgeoned to death outside her holiday home near Toormore, Schull, Co Cork on December 23, 1996.

This is what happens when one oddball of a man meets one oddball of an Irish police force. Their complete whackiness just works to guarantee that this case will probably never be solved. Sophie is made a victim twice. 2021 and we have incompetent guards, medical services, infrastructure, housing etc. We are a country of chancers and if we faced this fact maybe life in Ireland would be better for everyone. Too many people making money off massive incompetences.
I've never heard of such an all-important woodworking class lol :D Was a nice chat that I wanted to see more of!
Check out my interview with him on my TH-cam channel richies food and nature Ireland 😎
just because ian bailey is odd... or not liked, or because he loves media attention, it doesn't mean that he is a murder, a lot of circumstantial evidence and hearsay by unreliable witnesses... and the fact that the guardai themselves contaminated the crime scene and failed to gather evidence and lost some evidence, i mean, how can a 10 ft galvanized gate with blood stains just disapear, get lost, vanish, call it what you will, either ian bailey did it and was toying with the guardai for 25 years, or its a witch hunt against a innocent man
The Gardai removed, using scissors, pages from the job book from the time that they interviewed Bailey. The job books being an important record of the investigation. They are bound in pages so not something that can be "lost". Now why would they do that?
Bailey burned his clothes and belongings, confessed, he's a narcissist and let's not forget -- an abuser of women.
The coat was taken into evidence by the Guardia when they searched his house, it was cut up for samples. This is documented in the Gardai documentation, it is literally in their own files that they had the coat!
None of which makes him guilty.
Evidence makes him guilty. The cops failed to collect the evidence. That is their job. Was there no evidence ? Did they have evidence and lose it ?
Bailey was a creepy fellow. That is obvious.
This is about police failure.
Perhaps police cover ups.

Absolute Arse hole
who are you troll
Ian Bailey loses civil case for damages against the State and Disgraced Garda Commissioner.
It related to the evidence of Schull shopkeeper Marie Farrell, who said detectives convinced her to give statements placing the former journalist on a bridge near the crime scene - which she retracted many years later.
As the jury retired to consider their decision they had two questions to answer - the first was whether gardai conspired to implicate Ian Bailey in the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier.
The second was whether there was a garda conspiracy to obtain false statements from Schull shopkeeper Marie Farrell that Ian Bailey had intimidated her.
April 2005: Marie Farrell allegedly phones Ian Bailey's solicitor Frank Buttimer and says ''I want to tell the truth.''. She subsequently withdraws all statements she had made to Gardai about the du Plantier investigation.
It is said a Garda was involved in the murder, any evidence in this I wonder...?
Cruising the Waterways also Garda that denied being in area at a crucial time and the one witness statementthat proves which witnesses are bullshit because of the lies told by gaurds is being ignored Peter was grooming kids and beat his wives up matin Graham also child groomer billy there's your killer?
If you read gemma o Doherty's article she says there was evidence of a blue Ford car seen speeding away from the scene and the particular guard know for womanising had that Ford car. This was never highlighted in the Irish media. It would of been easy to ask if someone owed a blue Ford and how many wore doc martin boots at the time.

Yes but that doesn't make guity
It doesn't make him guilty, it just means he matches the exact personality profile of someone who would brutally murder someone.

People have been giving him their PoV for 25 years, I can imagine that the same questions being asked over and over gets old real fast!
Not even brought to court mate...conviction in absentia in France are known to be of a poor standard. Trust the DPP....no evidence
@@brianmcginley2743Oh Brian McGinley please desist from blackguarding a dead man who was hounded to his death by such crass assumptions
@@brianmcginley2743Convicted in a crooked Court with dodgy evidence. Did you ever think of looking at the husband who got a big insurance payout on Sophie’s death or the German guy who committed suicide soon after this appalling crime? Did it ever enter your head that Ian was targeted because he was an Englishman living in a then very mentally insular parochial part of Ireland? Did it ever enter your head that Ian was set up to be the patsy in order to hide the real culprit who might have been an influential and prominent authority in the area at the time?
I'm fucking loving the comments on here
People, check out 'The Behavior Panel' who released a vid yesterday on Ian Bailey, and it's fascinating!!!
Those are a bunch of snake-oil selling jokers. Body language my ar$e! It has been constantly and thoroughly debunked.

Not an ounce of class.

@@jaidenofficial8746 Get a proper name
It utterly astounds me that her family think he is guilty. Two people who worked for her left the country and both commited suicide. One left a note saying he had done a terrible thing. A dpp report hidden for ten years and a second one given to gardai telling them he had no case to answer. Both witnesses retracted their statements saying they were threatened by gardai. Thats how we do things here . The most sickening fact is that the gardai know they have the wrong man zero dna and zero evidence shameful
Lol and pigs can fly
YES HE IS INNOCENT
that note was just a rumour and was never found.
@@grt05No - the German guy who committed suicide confessed to his friend, after he had returned to Germany from his home in Cork only one mile from Sophie’s cottage, that he had ‘done a terrible thing’ then committed suicide. The people who have persecuted Isn Bailey RIP for decades, deserve to be prosecuted for being complicit in destroying a man’s entire life!
@@freedomunltdwhere is this documented?
Struggling to see what evidence there is against him?
Plenty!
@@oliverjumelle Such as?? There is not one shred of evidence against Ian Bailey, if there was he would have been charged a long time ago. The Guards coerced people to make false witness against him, they hated him and tried to frame him, those guards responsible should have been brought to trial . their actions against Ian Bailey were criminal but no action was taken against any of them. Ian Bailey 's life was ruined the moment the Guards in Schull decided to pin Sophie's murder on him. Reminds me of the behavior of the Guards in the Kerry Baby scandal.
@@hissycissy2748 the fact that he had scrates on his face. The post Mortem of 2008 found DNA under her fingernails
@@oliverjumelle If they had his DNA under her fingernails we would know about it! We don't so it's clearly not his.
Are you for real, scratches on his face does not mean he committed murder🙄
There is no evidence against him besides what would barely pass as local gossip. Its total nonsense
If he did it then there must be something tangible to link him. If he didn’t do it he’s simply an eccentric English guy who is in to living an isolated life out in Ireland! He seems like a very odd character for sure, but why were no other suspects who the Guardia could have questioned?
@@sarahcoburn5870
Being a wife-beater does not mean you are a murderer. There will have been a lot of wife-beaters in that town.
He was NOT seen on the bridge. Marie Farrell has categorically stated for years that it was not Ian Bailey and said she was coerced into maintaining that claim by the Gardai. She is now saying that the mans she saw in town is a Frenchman known to Sophie's ex-husband.
He did not admit to the killings, that was satire and irony. Stupid humour on his part in the face of absurdity. The DPP report makes this clear, maybe you should read it and educate yourself.
@@zed351 it didn't make sense that Bailey would have been at the bridge seeing as its not the direct route to Sophies house from his location. You'd have thought that fact alone would have dismissed that evidence. Why would he take a much longer route than he needed to on a winters night?
@@fraz6354
There is a lot to investigation that doesn't make sense and the Gardai were determined to pin it on anybody. Bailey it appears was a local and convenient weirdo to pin it on.
@@zed351 he's also English, which a lot of Irish people aren't overly keen on.
@@fraz6354At the time..
The mask slips the more he talks the anger bubbles up , he’s one triggered guy now imagine what he was like at 38 on whiskey all 6’4 of him ...
DMC The problem for you is that there is absolutely no evidence linking Ian to Sophie's murder, none absolutely none, other that the determination of the Gardai in Schull inciting witnesses to give false evidence! Ian Bailey is living a life of hell, he could not even leave Ireland to go to his mothers funeral, you can see despair and pain written all over his face by his conviction from the Irish press, without any evidence what so ever, none absolutely none. The man went to the bother of studying law and became a barrister to defend himself from such bigotry and lies! Ian bailey is a victim of the Irish press and the Gardai in Schull, just as Joanne Hayes and her family were in the Kerry babies case!
Hissy Cissy The crime scene was contaminated
@@opencurtin How was the crime scene contaminated? Sophie tried to defend herself, there should have been evidence , under her fingernails? What happened to the missing blood splattered gate? how did that go missing, that was in the possession of the Schull Gardai?
Hissy Cissy Bailey trampled all over the scene the police never stopped him !
@@opencurtin Are you really saying the Police just stood there and let Bailey trample all over the scene of a murder???
16 December 2019, bailey arrested in Dublin.
saw him in schull yesterday
Ireland refused to extradite
@@daisyriordantodd7154 😟
The only reason this case is getting this much attention is because Sophie's family is wealthy and they're connecting with people in very high political places. If this was just a regular everyday person this case would have died years ago and so would the interest in it. Her family is in the position to keep this case in the public eye.
Indeed, the French president got involved in the extradition.
Wouldn’t you, if it was your daughter that had been murdered and the police had bungled the case?
@@TheLastAngryMan01
If I was them I would be following the evidence, not the village gossip.
@@zed351 Which is? What is your hypothesis?
Look, I don't agree with the attempted extradition or the French jurisprudence on murder trials. But if a loved one of mine had been slain in such circumstances, I know that I would move heaven and earth to find the truth. And if that involves asking favours of powerful people that I'd have a connection to, so be it.
@@TheLastAngryMan01
The difference is that they used their influence to get a 25 year conviction for a man that the Irish DPP said there was not enough evidence to even charge him with a crime.
I would want the actual killer jailed, not the nearest convenient weirdo to make me feel better.
HE IS GUILTY AS FUCK !!! I look forward to the day he gets HIS !!!!
You seem as angry as he is........😂
He's innocent until proven guilty. If you don't like that then head off to N Korea.
I look forward to the day you get yours!!!
I live in South Kerry and cross the border into West Cork to shop at Bantry market a lot . I am always seeing this character , He loves to show boat whether he is guilty or innocent . I think it a huge tribute that the local people don't judge him and just rub along . In view of the bad publicity he brings and crime he might have committed it shows tolerance i doubt you would see anyway else , certainly not his native Manchester
Well that sounds like some what of a joke, plenty have judged him and continue to. Have you listened to West Cork pod cast? Well worth a listen
THATS BECAUSE THE LOCALS KNOW HE IS INNOCENT, WHO ARE YOU TO SHOW JUDGEMENT ANYWAY?
@@mpat100Well said
Ian was innocent - he was persecuted for decades due to this slander. RIP Ian

This guy ,Bailey sounds like he's trying to convince HIMSELF of his innocence.As someone who has read hundred of books of the True Crime genre here in America ,I would be prepared to bet heavy $$ that he is guilty.
He exhibits a classic case of narcissistic /sociopathic/ psychopathic behavior.
Not someone to be friends with ,that's for sure!
@@brianmcginley2743By a rotten prejudiced French court! Will YOU apologize when the truth comes out, that it was not Ian after all!
Circumstantial evidence that was compromised by a corrupt police force has many thinking this man committed a murder! He may be a narcissist and have a silly senec of humor but that doesn't give anyone the right to point the finger of blame without solid evidence thru trial and process! Thankfully that's the civilized democracy we live in
The cops were incompetent but the birds and the trees all say Ian murdered Sophie.He himself said he did it on a number of occasions. Don't let him off because you feel sorry for him.
@@df289
Read the DPP report on these so-called "confessions". They were taken out of context and one of them was reported 11 MONTHS later.
@@zed351 Or maybe he has a guilty conscience.Nothing like a bit of confession to ease the feeling of guilt.
@@df289
Or maybe as he says and the DPP agree, they were taken out of context by people who had already been repeatedly told by the Gardai that he was a murderer.
@@zed351 Either he said it or he didn,t say it.
He absolutely fell on his feet having murdered a woman in a fit of rage then happily enjoys the publicity of the wronged man that suits his extreme evil narcissistic personality
@@brianmcginley2743Ian has a black sense of humour - what else did you expect him to say if you were in his terrible position - he was hounded to death by Irish gombeens
Are you serious? The man was driven mad by the constant accusations, persecution and defamation of his character. The comment is risible.
Enjoy French chokey!
😳
I’m in shock reading the comments where people think that this complete bastard of a man is innocent and that the defence is he just “an eccentric” trying to live him weird life in west cork.
He openly admits to domestic abuse, (that alone is a frightening information that we seem to brush over) and he has a history of violence against women
On the night of the murder he retracted his statement that he was asleep all night and said “oh yes I got up in the middle of the night and went walking for a few hours” this was also confirmed by his partner
Numerous people came forward saying he opening admitted to the murder but the comments here some to think this the guards forced the locals to say it. I’m not m sure what Ireland you are living in and I’d go as far as saying that you are giving the guards way more credit than you think, by imagining that they could mastermind this for over 20plus years. Local stories have never changed with the exception of one (being threatened by Bailey himself)
He lit a fire behind his house the next morning of the murder where remnants of clothing, mattress, sheets were found in the ashes. A bit odd to be fair
The list goes on. The evidence, all be it “circumstantial” for you lawyer types, make it certain the prick did it. On top of all this, his English and waking around a free man in CORK no less😅
It's not surprising that you think he did it based on your limited knowledge of the case.
Domestic abuse does not make a murderer. If it did, then many other blokes in that 1990s Irish town would also be murderers.
When asked weeks later about his movements that night, he got it wrong. So what? His partner said it was not unusual for him to get up. Would you know weeks later which night you had got up and which night you had not when you often randomly get up?
The "confessions" are completely out of context. If you read the highly critical DPP report you will understand why they are.
The threat to Marie Farrell is a lie. She has admitted it was a lie and maintains that it was not Ian Bailey. In fact only in the last week she has identified the man from a photograph as being somebody living in Paris and known the Sophie's ex-husband. Thar Gardai are investigating. Imagine if flight records show this Frenchman entering and leaving the country during December...
The fire was in November, Jules said she burnt a mattress and other items left in the studio house. The witness made the claim about the fire FOUR MONTHS after the murder.
Do you see the problem with having only a small amount of information?
@Jack Burton
I didn’t know you had more in-depth knowledge than myself on the case but I have to admit, by the sounds of it, you are either a modern day Columbu or a weird murderer sympathizer. Either way let me have a “stab” (bad pun) off your rebuttals:
Anger can make “accidental” murderers, by going too far. You think a man of that size couldn’t kill Sophie with one angry rage and drunken fuelled blow to the head? Come on man, if you can hit a woman, you are coward enough to push the limits.
Do you regularly get up in the middle of the night and go for long walks in the butt fu*k of nowhere, coincidentally on a night when a person is being murdered in the smallest of towns? If he does in fact get up close to every night and go for stroll in the middle of the night, he probably should look at getting treated for insomnia, and at that point I might understand how he would get his “mid-night strolls” mixed up.
Where the hell did you get the information on a “French man” being interviewed? 😂 From Marie Farrell the woman you just said told lies? The saying you can’t have your cake and eat it comes to mind. Either way, I have massive sympathy for Marie Farrell and wish her the best.
Yes I will certainly trust the DPP who noted that “hitting women is normal behaviour” (paraphrasing) and not the boots on the ground covering the case. What is the conspiracy do you think? Who are the guards trying to get off the hook? I’d love to know your theory.
As for the fire, I actually couldn’t be arsed providing a response on this as I have already wasted too much energy, while also realizing, no matter if the prick admitted to it, you would still say the guards “forced him” into the confession or something; I guess people like yourself make the world more interesting and that my friend is why I somewhat respect your position… 🤥
@@spolier101
The facts are on the Internet, Google is amazing, you should try it.
"Anger can make “accidental” murderers, by going too far."
So? All that means is that anybody within a 10 hour drive could have done it.
"Do you regularly get up in the middle of the night and go for long walks...."
Jules said that Bailey did indeed often get up. What long walks? He went to the kitchen to write an article and then to the studio house a couple of hundred yards away to complete it for submission.
"Where the hell did you get the information on a “French man” being interviewed?"
It's called the news, you may wish to try it. The Gardai want to interview the man.
"Yes I will certainly trust the DPP..."
You should, when even the *PROSECUTION* tear apart the "evidence" in their own case, you should be listening to them.
@@spolier101
You clearly don't believe in the Common Law principle of Innocent Until Proven Guilty. Until of course it is you that is accused of a crime, then you will be wanting the presumption of innocence.
utterly stupid comment total rubbish
Bailey reminds me of one of those people who admit to crimes they haven't done because they like the attention. He absolutely loves attention, so you wonder does he go about getting it by sometimes admitting it to people or acting suspicious. I've watched the Netflix and Sky documentary ,and can't make my mind up on him. But really, apart from him incriminating himself, there doesn't seem to be much evidence against him.
He has never admitted it. He has responded to people accusing him of murder by sarcastically saying it. There is a huge difference and context is everything.
@@zed351 I was referring more to the similarities of how he loves the attention, even if it might reflect on him negatively.
@@fraz6354
He's the sort of guy that would get on my nerves.
@@zed351 yeah I totally agree with that, but I think after a while you might start to find him funny, and if you got to know him you'd just tell him to sit down and shut up, and you could wind him up about how he is.
Random Task Is Ian Bailey so is Jack Burton.
Her husband got married to another woman he was having an affair with soon after her murder. He never came to Ireland at the time of her murder. The French seem to have " open marriages" more so than most, so sleeping with several women you're not married to is ok,if you're French. Or,vice versa.
