The Minister for Justice Helen McEntee has appealed to those with information on the 'Disappeared' to provide it to the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains.
Her comments come as a new search began at Bragan Bog outside Emyvale earlier today for the remains of 19-year-old Columba McVeigh who was murdered by the IRA and buried in a secret location in 1975. She said her thoughts were with the McVeigh family and she remains hopeful of a successful outcome.
The Minister added that the families of the Disappeared have had to endure "particular cruelty" because of not knowing where their loved ones remains are. Meanwhile, Columba's brother Oliver, told Northern Sound that somebody, somewhere, knows where his brother is buried.
"If anyone in this area knows anything at all please come forward to the Commission. I want to get my brother's body because it was my mother's dying wish that I would keep going and find my brother's body so it can be put in the grave with her," he concluded.
