Bogland search for IRA victim continues

A team of Gardaí is today involved in a third day of searching bogland near the border for teenager Columba McVeigh, one of Northern Ireland’s “disappeared“, kidnapped and murdered by the IRA nearly 30 years ago.

Mr McVeigh, from Donaghmore, Co Tyrone, was abducted in 1975 by the now on-ceasefire terrorists, who claimed he had operated as a spy.
