497. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality where a person would take anecdotal information regarding the whereabouts of the body of a disappeared person who was supposedly shot, killed and buried during the War of Independence-Civil War (details supplied); if there is a list of such victims available to reference; if there is precedent of recent discovery of bodies of disappeared from that era; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My advice to the Deputy would be that information of the nature referred to by him should be brought to the attention of An Garda Síochána. This will allow the necessary inquiries to take place. The Deputy may also wish to note that my Department does not hold any lists of victims who may have been killed and buried during the War of Independence or the Civil War. As for the question of the discovery of bodies disappeared from the era, I am not aware of any such discoveries.
