The correspondence received relates to the tragic killing of Private Doherty and the disappearance of Private Joyce in April 1981 while serving with the United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon. My Department has received previous correspondence from the person in question and the most recent correspondence is being dealt with in conjunction with the previous correspondence. A response will issue shortly to the person in question following a detailed examination of the most recent material received.
