Relatives of missing people criticise investigation

The father of missing woman Deirdre Jacob told a packed room, including the justice minister, that the way cases are investigated is “not good enough”.

Michael Jacob, whose daughter disappeared in 1998 from Newbridge, Co Kildare, attended an event to mark National Missing Persons Day and stood up at the end of the ceremony to challenge how cases are handled.

He was not a scheduled speaker but took to the podium to make his remarks.
