Remains Of Seamus Ruddy To Be Brought Back To Dublin
The remains of Seamus Ruddy, one of the Disappeared victims, are to be repatriated in Dublin on Tuesday, 06 June.
Mr Ruddy was abducted, murdered and secretly buried in France by the INLA in 1985.
Frank Murray and Sir Ken Bloomfield, Commissioners of The Independent Commission for the Location of Victims Remains (ICLVR), said the remains will be taken to the Dublin City Mortuary and released to the family when the coroner has fulfilled her obligations.
They said: "Our thoughts and prayers are with the Ruddy family and we would ask that their privacy is respected as they prepare to lay Seamus to rest."
Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams TD said: "I want to welcome the return by the ICLVR of the remains of Seamus Ruddy to Ireland and to his family who have campaigned tirelessly for decades for this outcome.
"Efforts must now continue to recover the three remaining bodies.
"I would appeal to anyone with information to come forward."
