In life Joe Lynskey and Robert Nairac were from opposite ends. In death they share common agony. Both killed by IRA, their photos side by side outside Stormont today. Think on that - those with information. Thinking of Columba and Lisa too. #missing #thedisappeared #dignity

Joe Lynskey, Columba McVeigh and Robert Nairac had little in common in life, but in death are linked by the IRA still failing to return their bodies. Some IRA members have given assistance in some cases (but not in Nairac’s) but others are selfish and keep ciúin. #thedisappeared

I first met Geoff in 2009 at inquest of Danny McIlhone -abducted Dublin 1981, killed, buried Co. Wicklow. Geoff & colleagues would later find bodies of others killed, hidden during the Troubles. 4 remain unfound. Geoff Knupfer has done this island great service. #thedisappeared

Columba McVeigh’s sister Dympna Kerr visiting Bragan Bog near Emyvale in Co Monaghan today as the search for his remains resumed. He was abducted, murdered and secretly buried by the IRA in 1975 at the age of 19 #TheDisappeared

Limerick City and County Council failed to release to us, under FOI, the minutes for the meeting at which Niall Collins voted to dispose of council land. After repeated phone calls, emails and finally a suggestion The Ditch boys attend their offices, the council had to relent.

I am currently researching and writing a book on the women of Ennis Cumann na mBan which will focus on their lives before, during and after the revolutionary period. I would love to talk to the relatives of these women to bring their stories out of the shadows....

Cumann na mBan were women who fought in the Irish War of Independence (1919-21). They were a key part of the fight but generally ignored in the new misogynistic theocratic State they helped liberate. Recently historians have begun righting that.
