A fresh search for the remains of Brendan Megraw - one of the IRA's 'Disappeared' victims - is taking place in Co Meath today.

The area of bogland in Oristown Co Meath has already been examined on three other occasions in the search for Megraw - the last time in 2010.

Today's search will focus on five acres of bogland that have not been inspected previously.

Mr Megraw is one of 17 people abducted, murdered and secretly buried by the IRA. The victims are often referred to as the 'Disappeared'.

23-year-old Brendan Megraw was abducted from his own home in west Belfast in April 1978, while his wife was expecting the couple's first child.
