Irish Embassy to co-ordinate Medjugorje search

AN official from the Irish Embassy in Ljubljana, Slovenia, has been appointed to co-ordinate efforts to find an Irish woman who disappeared more than a week ago while on a pilgrimage to Medjugorje.

Winifred (Winnie) Brady, 59, from Raheny, Dublin, had travelled to the village with a party of 10.

It was a place that she had visited twice before and knew well, according to her family.
