Indeed word of Helen’s Law is spreading, with both Scotland and Northern Ireland now looking to introduce something similar, the Republic of Ireland is also exploring the possibility and an MP in Canada won a seat in that country’s parliament with a campaign which included a version of “Helen’s Law” in his manifesto after consulting with Mrs McCourt.
It gives her much satisfaction to know this addition to the statute book and Helen’s story continues to capture the public imagination.
Indeed Mrs McCourt had in the early days after the murder turned down the possibility of collaborating on a book, saying this would only happen once Helen had been found.
