Irish filmmaker Jim Sheridan said his next big goal is to “clear Ian Bailey’s name” in his next work in a docudrama.

Irish filmmaker Jim Sheridan said his next big goal is to “clear Ian Bailey ’s name” in his next work.

Speaking at the Irish Film and Television Academy Awards, Mr Sheridan said he hopes to exonerate the deceased journalist who was the main suspect in the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier.“I kind of got fed up with having to lie that I had to be balanced and make balanced documentaries.” Mr Sheridan previously said his next documentary-drama will focus on a new suspect, promising to give about the man seen following Ms Toscan du Plantier on the last day she was seen alive – but won’t name him.“I did the wrongly accused Irishman in England,” he said. “So now I got to do the wrongly accused Englishman in Ireland.“It's just a mind-blowing thing to me - maybe it was because he was a difficult personality, you know, but it's still not right.

Ms Toscan du Plantier was found killed outside her holiday home near Toormore, Goleen, Co Cork on December 23rd, 1996.
