McVeigh body search is 'unproductive'
The opening stages of a new bid to find the body of another of the “disappeared” – people who vanished after being abducted and murdered by the IRA up to 30 years ago – proved unproductive in a bogland area of Co Monaghan today.
Mechanical diggers and a team of gardaí moved in this morning, concentrating on two areas close to the village of Emyvale in a bid to discover the remains of Columba McVeigh, who was aged 17 at the time he was taken away and killed by the now on-ceasefire terrorist group in 1975.
