Gardaí end search for teenage IRA victim

Gardaí have formally ended a two-week-long search of a mountainside bog near the Northern Ireland border for the remains of Columba McVeigh, who was kidnapped and murdered by the IRA as a teenager nearly 30 years ago.

The search operation, near Emyvale, Co Monaghan, began after the IRA relayed new information about the location of his body to the authorities.
