Information on other remains is sketchy after all these years

INFORMATION on the location of nine people abducted, murdered and secretly buried by the IRA was given to the Commission for the Location of Victims’ Remains.

Three bodies were recovered, one by IRA members themselves and two others after an extensive four-week dig in Co Monaghan in 1999.

Along with the Templetown Beach excavation, teams of gardaí assisted by private contractors were directed to two sites in Co Meath, another in Monaghan and one in the Dublin mountains.
