What impact do you think it would have on your mental health if your loved one died and you weren’t able to bury them?

For some victims of the Troubles, this is their reality.

Newstalk’s James Wilson has this report on the legacy the Disappearance of the dead in Northern Ireland.

If you have any information about the Disappeared, you can contact the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims’ Remains, where all information is legally privileged on 01 602 8655.

If you have been affected by anything you heard, you can contact the Samaritans on 116 123.

This report was supported by the Rosalynn Carter Fellowship for Mental Health Journalism, in partnership with Shine.
