The database will be updated every year as new unidentified remains are found, many of which come from coastal areas.

THE DEPARTMENT OF Justice has today published information on unidentified human remains provided by coroners around the country.

The process of exhuming unidentified remains that were buried before DNA samples were taken “is expected to take some time to complete,” the department said. “We remember in particular the families and friends of missing people in Ireland and recognise the ongoing pain suffered and the lack of closure in the absence of the remains of their loved ones.”

“So that might indicate that some have either come from fishing accidents or may have come from other jurisdictions as well.”Mayo Coroner Pat O’Connor, one of the country’s 34 coroners spread across 37 districts, said that the identification of remains brings great closure to the families of the deceased.
