Address to Seanad Éireann by Mr. Bertie Ahern, Former Taoiseach
Seanad Éireann — 2023-05-23
============================================================

Emer Currie (FG), Nominated by the Taoiseach

As part of the commemoration of 25 years of the Good Friday Agreement, we met the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains. That has been a success for some families but not for all. There are still four families who are waiting for their loved ones to be returned. We remember families like that of Columba McVeigh, who are searching for Columba at the moment in County Monaghan. I just want to thank Mr. Ahern for his contribution to peace on our island and for the opportunity to thank him.
