The mother of a woman who went missing from her Dundalk home six years ago says she believes she knows the identity of the man responsible for her disappearance.
Ms Bernadette Breen told journalist and author Barry Cummins she believes the man responsible for her daughter Ciara's disappearance is the man she told friends she was to meet on a night in February 1997, when she sneaked from her home and never returned.
The man has denied having had a relationship with her.
Ciara is one of eight people featured in Cummins's new book Missing. Cummins says a file was prepared for the DPP, but the DPP decided there was not enough evidence for a conviction. Yesterday a Garda source said, "short of a confession from him, we can do nothing".
