Taoiseach Enda Kenny, following his meeting with a group of family members of the “Disappeared” victims of the conflict in Northern Ireland, this evening made a call for anyone with information to provide it in confidence, .

During the meeting, the Taoiseach expressed his sympathy for the families’ loss and the ongoing plight of those whose loved ones’ remains have not yet been located and returned to them for burial.

This evening’s meeting is the latest in a series of meetings that the Taoiseach has held with the families of victims of the troubles in the North.

The Taoiseach said

I am glad to have the opportunity this evening to meet with and to hear the stories of those families whose loved ones were taken, killed and then hidden from them in such a callous and tragic way.

Information from the public is absolutely essential to help to bring an end to their pain. I call on anyone with information about any of the cases of the Disappeared to make it available in strict confidence to the Victims’ Remains Commission. The relatives of the Disappeared have for decades endured their loss with dignity, never giving up hope for the return of the remains of their family members for a decent burial.

Information can be passed to the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims’ Remains (ICLVR) at freephone 00-800-55585500 or at PO Box 10827, Dublin 2.
