Hello User:Lapsed Pacifist. On June 16 2005 you changed the wording in the Jean McConville article from
"The IRA did not admit their involvement until over 20 years later, when they passed information on the whereabouts of the body."
to this:
"The IRA did not admit their involvement until over 20 years later, when they passed information on the whereabouts of the body. After a prolonged search, co-ordinated by the Garda Síochána, her body was found."
That's incorrect. The Garda Síochána did indeed launch an extensive search in 1999, which in fact they expanded and continued for several weeks further than was intially planned, because no body could be located in the area specified by the IRA. Mrs. McConville's body was in fact only discovered - by accident - in 2003. I have since changed the article to reflect this. Cheers. Fergananim
[edit] IRA statement
The latest IRA statement was made on 8 July, in which they claim to have conducted an internal investigation which upheld their original claim that she was an informant. This probably merits a mention. 86.136.3.91 16:32, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
