Could the Ciara Breen case be finally solved?

Title reads "'Too early to speculate' if skeletal remains linked to teen missing for 20 years"

OP goes right ahead and speculates! :pac:

I'm guessing by the fact that her name has been brought up, that there's more information to this.

There are many reasons why remains may be found anywhere, so to automatically assume they are Ciara's means that the Gardai are aware of some link between Ciara and that house - maybe someone she knew lived there at the time or something.

That said, the media can be a bit trigger happy on this stuff. I remember when a skull was found in a garden in South Dublin, there was a bit of excitement that it belonged to the "Scissor Sisters"'s victim. Turned out that it actually dated to the late 1800s.

So in this case I would withhold any hope/speculation until there's more information.

And there again, Dundalk is right in the heart of "missing" country.

A fair number of persons with a chequered past have lived in Dundalk.

So the remains could be any of a long list, some of them both "missing" AND "Wanted"

But the TD is right who says it will bring closure to a family, whoever it it is.

Whatever the history of the deceased may have been, they can have a funeral and a decent goodbye with a bit of dignity.

All radio bulletins are going with the Ciara Breen angle so I wouldn't blame the OP

Remains are historical and not Ciara Breen.

Lots of people have skeletons in their closet.

It's amazing there aren't more skeletons unearthed IMO. The amount of people who have lived here over the ages. The country must be littered with corpses.

There are a quite a few unearthed , I worked in construction for years working on a quite a few sites particularly city centre ones where remains were discovered , each time the project called the muesems who came out , had quick look and said where they were.

Two that spring to mind were in the old Mercers hospital which was a pit full of remains dating from some outbreak of illness and the other in around Baggot street which has an old cemetry in the area.

Each time the museum people said they were historical but of no interest.

I'm surprised they found anything in Dundalk, them feckers would eat anything
