Site Search
Two weeks ago we revealed how a site in Co Kildare was to be searched as part of the investigation into the disappearance of Deirdre Jacob with hopes high of a discovery that could impact the case of Kilkenny woman Jo Jo Dullard.
But on Tuesday those hopes were dashed as Gardaí revealed the search there had come to a close with ‘nothing of evidential value to the investigation’ found – details here
Friend of the Dullard family, Fr Willie Purcell, joined our Edward Hayden on The Way It Is that evening:
