The sister of a murdered Wexford woman is making an emotional appeal for information on the case.

It comes on the 24th anniversary of Fiona Sinnott's disappearance, with no trace of her ever found.

In February 1998, Fiona was 19-years-old and had an 11-month-old baby girl called Emma.

She lived in Broadway in Co Wexford and was looking forward to attending her sister Diane's 21st birthday later that month.

Diane describes her sister as a "bubbly, fun-loving girl" who had everything to look forward to.

Fiona went to a pub in Broadway with friends on February 8th 1998.

She left the pub at around midnight and hasn't been seen since.

The case was upgraded to a murder investigation in 2005, but it remains unsolved.

Diane has no doubt her sister was killed.

She said: "I feel something really tragic happened that night.

"She walked out of the pub. She wouldn't have gotten on a bus or a train, as the pub was in the middle of nowhere."

Diane is renewing her appeal for information on Fiona's disapperance.

She said: "Even if they have some small little bit of information, we'd love them to come forward. 24 years is a long time.

"We do believe people in Wexford do have information. It's really hard knowing she's still out there... we would love closure."

There's a plaque in Fiona's memory in nearby Kilmore Quay.

Diane, her mother Mary and others will remember Fiona there today.

Anyone with information about Fiona's disappearance can contact Wexford Garda Station on 053-916-5200, the Garda Confidential Telephone Line on 1800-666-111, or any Garda Station.
