The funeral has taken place in Armagh this morning of Gareth O'Connor, the Armagh man whose body was recovered last week, two years after he went missing in May 2003.
Mr O'Connor's body was discovered in his car which was recovered close to Victoria Lock near Newry, Co Down, following a two-day search involving members of the PSNI’s underwater search unit.
Fr Sean Dooley told hundreds of mourners at Mr O'Connor's Requiem Mass in St Patrick's Cathedral today that the anguish of his family has ended but it goes on for the relatives of other disappeared victims.
“I appeal to anybody who has any information about the Disappeared to contact their families directly or indirectly so that other bodies may be cut down from the crosses and given Christian burials.
In a direct plea to those who can help, he said: “How can you go home to your families every night knowing the hell these families are enduring.” Earlier, Mr O'Connor's remains were taken from his house in nearby Knockamell Park and where up to 100 family and friends followed the procession to St Patrick's Cathedral.
The O'Connor family made appeals last week to the Irish and British Governments for increased efforts to recover the bodies of other missing people.
The Mass was attended by relatives of Jean McConville - murdered by the IRA but whose body was found on a Co Louth beach in 2003.
The Provisional IRA has denied the O'Connor family's accusation that they murdered him.
Mr O'Connor, from Armagh city, was last seen alive just over two years ago as he drove south through the Armagh village of Newtownhamilton in his blue Volkswagen Golf.
He was facing charges of belonging to the Real IRA, and was travelling to Dundalk to sign on at the Garda station there under his bail terms.
