Search at bog for Ciara Breen’s remains set to continue

Since last Monday, a specialist search team from the local station, backed up by experts from the Garda Technical Bureau, and from Thursday by a team of sniffer dogs, have been combing the marsh land area, known as Balmers Bog, on the Ardee Road in the Co Louth town.

And yesterday a source confirmed: “The operation will go on over the weekend, this is not a Monday to Friday, nine to five job, whatever it takes to discover one way or the other whether the girl’s remains are here will be done.”

The same source also disputed claims from former detective Alan Bailey which criticised the way the search efforts were brought into the public domain.
