The sister of a woman missing for 35 years has bemoaned the fact that so many missing persons cases in Ireland “could have been solved earlier”.

The annual National Missing Persons Day event in Dublin, the first in-person since pre-pandemic times, heard from Claire Clarke Keane, whose sister Priscilla disappeared in Wicklow in 1988, that it should be “mandatory for coroners to hold inquests on all unidentified remains”.
