Daughter tells of pain over missing mother

THE daughter of a woman who went missing from a Dublin hospital more than 31 years ago said at the conclusion of an inquest that the pain of her mother’s disappearance is as great today as it was then.

Alice Clifford, aged 57, Cremona Road, Ballyfermot, went missing from St Loman’s Hospital in west Dublin on November 28, 1979.

No trace of the mother of seven, who had dementia, was ever found.
