March by families of Disappeared

Families of IRA victims abducted and murdered during the conflict in Northern Ireland are to march to Stormont.

Relatives of the nine so-called Disappeared will carry a black wreath with nine white lilies to remember them.

Kieran Megraw, whose brother Brendan was murdered in 1978, said the memory of what happened has never left him.

"It is always with you, but you have to continue to live your life," he said.

"We are trying to bring to the fore that we want to get the bodies back and have a grave for us to go and visit."

Belfast priest Fr Aidan Troy, who will accompany the families on the march, said it helped remind people of their obligation to bring closure for the families.

"What we are doing is in memory of their loved ones," he said.

In 1999, the IRA offered to help locate the bodies of the nine Disappeared.

Three victims were found in 1999, while one was uncovered in 2003.
