Fragments of human remains have been located following a search that took place for one the so called ‘Disappeared’.
The discovery was made at Annyalla Cemetery in Co Monaghan yesterday.
The Independent Commission for the Location of Victims’ Remains have made the discovery at a site that it was investigating at the graveyard.
Human remains, believed to be one of the disappeared, have been located here in Annyalla Cemetery, and has now been sent for testing.
The remains were discovered following a tip off concerning a plot near where a search was carried out for Joe Lynskey.
The Lynskey family has been informed of thr latest developments.
Former monk Joe Lynskey was 40 when he was abducted, murdered and secretly buried by the IRA in 1972.
Information was received by the commission about a small area of interest which was examined within the confines of the cemetery and the remains were located.
A commission spokesperson said the information did not relate directly to the disappearance of Joe Lynskey and so until they have a positive identification or the elimination of the remains as those of Joe Lynskey or any of the other so called Disappeared they must keep an open mind.
The State Pathologist has been notified and the remains have been taken away for a technical examination.
