On Missing Persons Day we remember all from the Kilkenny and Carlow area who disappeared without a trace

It’s Missing Persons Day and a special annual ceremony will take place later this morning.

Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration Jim O’Callaghan TD and Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly will host the commemorative event from 11am for families and friends to remember their missing loved ones.

It’s also an opportunity to provide details on available support services while providing a nationwide platform to appeal for information on missing persons. (More here).

It comes just weeks after the 30th anniversary of the disappearance of Jo Jo Dullard while the fate of many others sadly in Kilkenny and Carlow also remains a mystery.
