Gardaí investigating the disappearance and murders of Jo Jo Dullard and Deirdre Jacob have started a search operation at an old sand pit on the Wicklow/Kildare border.

The search was ordered after information was received that something was buried at the location, which would be of interest to gardaí in relation to a missing woman.
