Search recommences for Tyrone teenager who disappeared in 1975

A search for the remains of a teenager believed to have been murdered by the IRA in 1975, will resume at a bog in County Monaghan today.

Columba McVeigh from County Tyrone was just 19 when he was abducted and killed.

A search being carried out by the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims Remains will recommence this morning – five months after it was halted due to ‘dangerous ground conditions’.

It’ll take place at Bragan Bog in Emyvale County Monaghan.
