Fourth Search For Body Of ‘Disappeared’ Youth Ends
The fourth and latest attempt to locate the body of one of the disappeared, Columba McVeigh, has been called off.
Efforts to find the body of Mr McVeigh, who was 17 when he was abducted and shot dead by the IRA in 1975, failed after a four-week dig at bog land at Bragan, Co Monaghan.
Despite the decision by the Commission for the Location of Victims’ Remains to end this search, Mr McVeigh’s brother Oliver said last night he would continue to try to find Columba’s body “as long as there is breath in my body”.
