British army captain Robert Nairac is among 17 people known as the Disappeared who were killed and secretly buried by paramilitaries during the North’s TroublesA search for the remains of undercover British soldier Robert Nairac, one of the Disappeared, will begin in Co Louth on Monday.
A captain in the Grenadier Guards, he was working undercover when he was abducted from the Three Steps Bar in Dromintee in south Armagh and taken to Ravensdale Forest near Dundalk where he was beaten and shot.How Lidl accidentally took on the big guns of cloud computing Speaking ahead of the beginning of the search, the lead investigator with the ICLVR, Jon Hill, said Mr Nairac was “one of the highest profile Disappeared and yet his case is one in which we have had very little to go on. We believe that we do now have sufficient credible information to warrant a search.”
“I want to make it clear that neither the landowner nor the tenant have any connection whatsoever with our decision to search in this particular location. The site is part of an area of significant archaeological interest, and Mr Hill said the ICLVR was “grateful for the support and co-operation of the National Monuments Service who have an interest in the wider area in which the Hill of Faughart has been identified as a 14th-century battle site.
“We are not time limited but given the relatively small area by our standards I do not anticipate a protracted search period of many months.
