Skull found in GAA pitch sand
A skull and bones have been found in a lorry load of sand delivered to a GAA pitch in Co Donegal.
The skeletal remains were spotted after a truck delivered tonnes of sand to a new training pitch at the Naomh Brid Club in Ballintra.
The load had been picked up at a quarry in Carrick, Gweedore.
Gardai said the remains appeared to be human and the county coroner was notified.
Both the scene of the pitch at the GAA club and the quarry where the sand was taken from have been sealed off for examination.
It is understood the skull and bones were spotted as the lorry driver dumped the sand out for a new training area to be developed at about 7.30am on Wednesday.
Gardai said it was too early to determine sex, how long the remains may have been in the ground or where they may have come from.
I think Grissom's job is safe GDA ;)
It's emerged that a human skull found in Donegal this week was ancient, and has been dated to pre-Christian times, possibly the bronze era.
The skull was found along with its teeth in a lorry-load of sand delivered to Naomh Brid football ground between Laghey and Ballintra from a quarry in Gweedore. It was rushed to Dublin, where it was examined by an anthropologist in the State Pathologist's office.
A coroner will now decide what happens although gardai said they did not expect an inquest to be held.
Gardai searched both the football field and the quarry to establish that there were no further remains.
Feck I'm beaming now! :D :D :D
You need to cancel that lynch mob quick!
Human remains found during a search for one of the disappeared in County Monaghan are to be taken to Dublin later for further examination.
It is thought they are the remains of 57-year-old Charlie Armstrong from south Armagh who is believed to have been killed by the IRA in 1981.
A post mortem examination will be carried out later.
Irish police have preserved the area where the remains were found as a crime scene.
The Independent Commission For The Location Of Victims' Remains said the formal identification process would take some time.
Mr Armstrong's family believe he was abducted and murdered by the IRA.
He is one of the so-called "Disappeared" - the 14 men and women abducted and killed by republican paramilitaries at the height of the violence in Northern Ireland.
The IRA admitted in 1999 that it killed and buried nine of the disappeared - Seamus Wright, Kevin McKee, Jean McConville, Columba McVeigh, Brendan Megraw, John McClory, Brian McKinney, Eamon Molloy and Danny McElhone - in secret locations.
The bodies of Mr Molloy, Mr McKinney, Mr McClory, Ms McConville and Mr McElhone have been found.
Others who vanished during the Troubles include Gerry Evans, Robert Nairac and Seamus Ruddy, who disappeared in France and whose murder was admitted by the INLA.
Search
Mr Armstrong's family believe he was killed when he resisted an attempt to hijack his car.
For several months in 2008, a team of experts concentrated on an area of bog and gorse at Inniskeen, in a search just a couple of miles from the Armstrong family home.
The commission was prompted to act that year by an anonymous map, sent to the family, which claimed he had been buried there.
It was the second map the family had received. The first showed a slightly different location.
Human remains found in County Monaghan in July were those of Charlie Armstrong, one of the so-called Disappeared.
Mr Armstrong, who was 57 and from south Armagh, went missing on his way to Mass in 1981.
He is believed to have been abducted and murdered by the IRA.
The Independent Commission for the Location of Victims Remains (ICLVR) said it had now received the results of DNA tests on the remains.
"The results positively indicate that the remains are those of Mr Charles Armstrong," it said.
"Dr Brian Farrell, coroner for the City of Dublin has accepted this as evidence of identification and has authorised the release of the remains to the family."
The remains were discovered after a search at Colgagh, County Monaghan on 29 July.
They were then removed to Dublin for further examination.

Others who vanished during the Troubles include Gerry Evans, Robert Nairac and Seamus Ruddy, who disappeared in France and whose murder was admitted by the INLA.
Earlier this year, the ICLVR confirmed it was investigating the disappearance of west Belfast man Joe Lynskey, a former Cistercian monk who later joined the IRA and went missing in 1972.

If the teeth were present, then at least we can discount the possibility that the person was from Donegal.

No mention of an inquiry into any of the disappeared. I wonder why
New search starting on Waterfoot beach for Peter Wilson from the Falls.
The organisation responsible for finding the remains of the "disappeared" has announced details of a search for a man believed murdered and secretly buried by the IRA in 1973.
Peter Wilson was 21 when he went missing from his home in the Falls Road area of west Belfast.
Archaeologists and other experts are now examining a beach at Waterfoot in the Glens of Antrim.
It is the first time such a search has been undertaken in NI.
The investigation by the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims Remains (ICLVR) was launched following a tip-off.
The commission's senior investigator Geoff Knupfer said the launch of the search at Red Bay beach on Tuesday was "a great step forward" for the family.
Although he would not be drawn on the nature of the new information, Mr Knupfer said it was "reliable and high quality".
"We are very conscious of the erosive properties of the sea but despite all that we've taken advice and consulted with experts and we are hoping that we can recover Peter Wilson's remains," he said.
While Mr Wilson's parents have since died, in a statement his surviving family members expressed hope that their long wait would soon be over.
"We are so relieved that a search for his body will start today," the statement said.
"The beach at Waterfoot was a place we have visited often over the years with our mother and children, unaware that Peter was buried there."
The commission has overseen the discovery of seven bodies and numerous searches since it was set up in 1999 to locate those murdered and buried in secret graves by republican paramilitaries during the troubles.
Remains found in County Monaghan in July were confirmed as being those of Crossmaglen man Charlie Armstrong, a 57-year-old father-of-five who went missing on his way to Mass in 1981.
Earlier this month, human remains believed to be those of Mr Armstrong's neighbour Gerry Evans were found at a site in County Louth.
they announced on the news that there was a search on a beach near Larne.
It must be terrible for the family at this time when after waiting for so long there is a ray of hope for them, hope they find him.

Peter Wilson was what would be referred to these days as "special needs". I would say it took some gang of tough men to abduct him and kill him. Lovely words from Gerry Adams though, must be comforting for the family at this time.

Aye, there are some tough men out there when you look at the victims who were mainly young boys or old men. Still happemning with your fella Quinn in Armagh, a gang of god knows how many to beat to death a boy barely out of his teens and they are all still walking about as if nothing happened.
It looks like they have found the remains of Seamus Ruddy in France
http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/news/seamus-ruddys-family-want-christian-burial-after-remains-find-in-france-35688231.html
"If the remains are those of Mr Ruddy, that will leave three of the 16 Disappeared victims still to be recovered.
The remains of Columba McVeigh, Joe Lynskey and Robert Nairac have yet to be found"
I remember hearing about the INLA in the 80s. They were always breaking down into feuds.
It takes really brave men to drag a man or woman from their homes, torture and kill them and then bury the body in an unmarked grave. Those fuckwit so called patriots must be really proud of themselves and as for the gobshites that support them they're only a bunch of pathetic losers

According to Indo, Ruddy was in the INLA and involved in get arms from eastern Europe, storing them before arranging to move them to Ireland. In a feud among INLA, he was killed by comrades who wanted his operation. They went to France and killed him, took the arms and buried him in place of the arms.
Regardless, no one deserves to be disappeared especially the devastating effect it has on the families.

This article about Sean Bap Hughes touches on the Ruddy case
"Back in Ireland, by 1985 with Steenson and his followers in jail, a new leadership was rising to the top, headed by "Big" John O'Reilly and Peter "Dunter" Stewart, a former Provisional IRA member. The INLA was soon embroiled in one of its periodic — and vicious — disputes.
O'Reilly and Stewart wanted weapons. Hughes's sources were limited as he was effectively frozen out of the main arms supply network run by the older INLA activists in France, who distrusted him. Stewart and O'Reilly wanted to change that. They arranged to go to Paris in May 1985. There they met with Hughes. They persuaded Seamus Ruddy, a language teacher and former INLA gun-runner who was also based in the French capital, to meet with them. They believed that Ruddy still knew how arms might be procured. When he said he did not, he was badly beaten and murdered. His body was buried somewhere in a wooded area near Rouen."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Holland
(Mary Holland) came to prominence as one of the first Irish journalists to report on the rise of the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association (NICRA) and became an increasingly prominent commentator on the affairs of the region.
In 1977 Conor Cruise O'Brien was appointed editor-in-chief of the paper. O'Brien was a writer and politician, who served as a government minister in the Oireachtas (Irish Parliament). He was often criticized for his uncompromising opposition towards "physical force Irish republicanism", and his actions to that end during Liam Cosgrave's tenure as Taoiseach were labelled as censorship by some. Shortly after starting as editor, O'Brien sent a memo to Holland:
"
It is a very serious weakness of your coverage of Irish affairs that you are a very poor judge of Irish Catholics. That gifted and talkative community includes some of the most expert conmen and conwomen in the world and I believe you have been conned."
