Lessons from an Airbnb host: ‘Two sisters insisted we call the Bord Gáis emergency services because the radiator was too hot’ British army captain Robert Nairac is believed to have been working undercover when he was abducted from the Three Steps Bar in Dromintee in south Co Armagh “It is our experience from other searches that while we have been in the right area, the precise location has not been found the first time around,” he said.
Since the controversial figure’s death, claims and counterclaims have been made about Nairac, including that he was involved in the 1974 Dublin and Monaghan bombings in which 34 people were killed.
