The Joint Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement met the Independent Commission on the Location of Victims' Remains yesterdayto receive an update on the work of the Commission.

Commissioners Mr Frank Murray and Sir Kenneth Bloomfield and Senior Investigator, Mr Geoff Knupfer, appeared before the Committee.

The Commissioners outlined the progress the Independent Commission has made since its inception in recovering the remains of 13 of 'the Disappeared.'

The remains of three victims are yet to be recovered: Joseph Lynskey, Columba McVeigh and Robert Nairac.

The Committee unanimously voiced its support for the work of the Commission and underlined the importance of more people coming forward with information. It was underlined to the Committee that any information is received in the strictest confidence.

Committee Vice Chair, Declan Breathnach, appealed to members of the public to come forward: "Any information, no matter how small, could assist the Commission in progressing its work, and bring some measure of closure to the families of the three men whose remains are still missing."
