Families of Ireland's long term missing people will meet the Garda Commissioner on Thursday to demand changes to how cases are being handled.

The meeting at Garda Headquarters with Commissioner Drew Harris comes as a garda search was continuing on Wednesday as part of a probe into the murder of missing woman Jo Jo Dullard. The meeting was scheduled prior to Monday's arrest in that case, and also prior to the exhumation in Bandon last week of the unidentified remains of a man found in the river at the Lee Fields in Cork city in 1999.
