The remains were taken from a single grave at Annyalla Cemetery.

LCLVR investigators believe they have found the body of a disappeared IRA victim buried in the grave of another person in Co Monaghan.

The Independent Commission for the Location of Victims’ Remains (ICLVR) received information concerning suspicious historic activity during the 1970s at a grave in Annyalla cemetery.

In a statement issued tonight the commission say both the time frame and the location coincide with the disappearance of Joe Lynskey in 1972.

The ICLVR did not become aware that Joe Lynskey was one of the Disappeared until 2010.

Following an exhumation in Co Monaghan there will be a formal process to establish the identity of all of the remains found in the grave. The statement issued to Northern Sound tonight said the process may take some time.
