The families of the Disappeared have made an appeal for information that could help them recover their loved ones as they gathered for their annual commemoration at Stormont. The Disappeared were a group of 17 people abducted, murdered and secretly buried by republicans during the Troubles, mostly by the IRA. One of the relatives there was Maria Lynskey, a niece of Joe Lynskey, who said she’s still “very hopeful” after remains exhumed in a search for her uncle last year turned out not to be his.
