The brother of one of the disappeared made repeated appeals to Sinn Féin politicians on an Oireachtas committee to go to the highest levels of the party to get the information needed to locate the remains and allow for a Christian burial.

Oliver McVeigh, brother of Columba McVeigh, issued his appeals again and again during a three-hour meeting of the Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement to Sinn Féin MP for West Tyrone Órlflaith Begley, Sinn Féin TD for Mayo Rose Conway Walsh and to Sinn Féin MP for West Belfast Paul Maskey.
