Gardaí are determined to definitively rule out a Dublin property as a possible burial site. The dig operation is taking place on the grounds of a house in Clondalkin that was previously linked to the suspect. It has involved significant excavation work to the rear of the property.

This means the force has, for now, ruled out committing more resources in several other cases where foul play is suspected including those of Philip Cairns and Trevor Deely, who vanished in Dublin in 1986 and 2000 respectively.
