The Catholic primate, Cardinal Seán Brady, has issued an appeal for information that could lead to the discovery of bodies of the so-called Disappeared. Dr Seán Brady, the Archbishop of Armagh, called on anyone with such information to pass it on to the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims’ Remains.
“I hope that those who have even the tiniest item of information will have the courage to pass it on and so, perhaps, help to ease the pain of the families who have suffered so much for so long,” he said.
Dr Brady will celebrate the annual mass of remembrance for the Disappeared today in Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, Armagh, at 3pm.
Last week, scientific experts working with the Commission for the Location of Victims’ Remains have begun to examine a site in Co Meath where the IRA is believed to have buried two of the Disappeared.
The bodies of fifteen Catholics killed by republicans during the Troubles were buried in secret locations.
A number of these have since been found.
