‘Bodies dumped on Border roadsides’

FEAR stalked the Border area and bodies were regularly dumped along roadsides in the mid-1970s, an Oireachtas all-party body heard yesterday.

The Justice Sub-Committee is into its second week of hearings on the Barron Report into the 1976 murder of Dundalk forestry worker Seamus Ludlow.

Mr Ludlow, 47, who had no links to paramilitary groups, was shot dead as he returned home from a night out.
