26/10/2011 MISS pays tribute to Gardai and forensic team
MISS has paid tribute to the Gardaí and the forensic team for their efforts to identify the remains of a woman found on the seabed off Kilmore Quay, Wexford in 2010 as those of a British woman missing since 2009.According to Claire Clarke Keane of Missing in Ireland Support Services (MISS), "The efforts and the tests which the Gardaí and the team involved in this case undertook to identify this woman were phenomenal."
The case shows that DNA technologyis improving and that facial reconstruction makes identification possible even in cases with limited DNA material available.
MISS believes that this case makesa very convincing argument that many of the unidentified in Ireland could now be traced and cold cases of Ireland’s unidentified dead could be solved.
Ms Clarke Keane said that when a family gets news that a missing loved one has been found dead but has been identified, the loss is hard but it brings closure and finality. It allowsthe family to bring home their loved one and have a resting place to mark a life and a death.
To ensure that more families get answers and closure there is an urgent need for a national DNA database of each unidentified person and a legal requirement for coroners to hold public inquests into any unidentified remains lying within their jurisdiction.
Ms. Clarke Keane also expressed the hope that the recent opening of an inquest in Co. Donegal into a coldcase of an unidentified man found in 1983 on a Dunfanaghy beach will help givethis man back his rightful name and allow some family dealing with the ambiguous loss of their missing son or brother to get an answer after 31years. She appealed to other coroners to follow a similar course of action.

It is now 15 years since my discovery on Ballinamona Beach in Wexord.When I was found I was wearing Lee Jeans; brown laced up shoes size 39,
And I had keys for a VW car in my pocket,
Now ‘Unidentified female’ is marked on my grave
But I once had a name and I was someone’s little girl
For today I still wait and see if someone will come
And give me back my rightful name.
PLEASE HELP ME – I WANT TO GO BACK TO MY FAMILY
17/09/2010 Statement of clarification from MISS Chairperson, Dermot Browne
Over the past week or so I have been contacted by a number of persons to whom we have provided support relating to a Missing family member or friend. We have been made aware that some former members of our Organisation have broken away and formed their own Missing Persons group.
Obviously we have no difficulties with any agency which is in a position to assist, in whatever manner, those affected by the trauma which is associated with a Missing Person and wish this new Organisation well. However we are anxious to dispel the confusion which has arisen in people’s minds, between the 2 Organisations.
It is perhaps best if I can provide some clarity by summarising who we are and what services we provide:
• Missing in Ireland Support Service (MISS) is a voluntary organisation which was established in 2003.
• We are a registered Charity, number CHY 16205 – all of our services are free.
• In 2009 we re-launched and continue to operate the National Missing Persons Helpline. This is with the assistance of funding provided by the Commission for Support of Victims of Crime.
• We are not in partnership or affiliation with any other organisation in the running of the Missing Persons Helpline.
• Our Helpline is contactable 24/7 and will provide information or whatever assistance is practical or possible.
• Our mission as a non-profit Organisation is to bring hope to families and friends of Missing Persons by providing resources and support. We also aim to create public awareness of Missing Persons through a variety of educational activities.
• We co-operate with the Garda Siochana to strive towards a National and co-ordinated response to Missing Persons.
• We have a core group of volunteer workers who are trained to Diploma level in Missing Person Support. Arrangements are at an advanced stage to provide training for additional volunteers early in 2011 this will allow us to extend our operational area.
• We do not presently provide a search or tracing service, however we are working with a number of complementary Organisations, some involved in Search and Rescue with an objective of a streamlined response and a single point of contact.
I trust that the above will provide sufficient information to allow members of the public to distinguish between the 2 Organisations. However if further details are required please do not hesitate to contact our Helpline 1850 442 552, Email info@missingpersons.ie or visit our website www.missingpersons.ie.
