Archbishop Eamon Martin of Armagh has reiterated his ongoing call for action to finally retrieve the remains of Northern Ireland’s last few "Disappeared": four men killed by the IRA during the Troubles, whose bodies have never been found.
The Catholic Church in Northern Ireland recalls these men each year at a special Mass, which is designed both to bring spiritual consolation to the loved ones of the 'Disappeared' and to raise awareness among the generations who have grown up since the 1998 Good Friday Agreement - a generation unaware of what it was like to live through violence from the 1960s to the 1990s which cost more than 3,700 lives with up to 100,000 injured in Northern Ireland.
