Calls for special missing persons’ unit to trace disappeared

A SPECIAL missingpersons unit should be set up to trace the thousands of people who vanish each year, a TD has urged.

The task is currently undertaken by gardaí around the country and the information is recorded at Garda headquarters in Dublin.

Fianna Fáil TD Martin Brady said a dedicated unit should be established and should be manned by investigators who would travel across the country.
