The families have been updated in relation to the outcome of these searches

Gardaí investigating the disappearance and murders of Jo Jo Dullard and Deirdre Jacob said they have now concluded a search operation on open ground at a location in Co. Wicklow near the Wicklow/Kildare border.

The families of Jo Jo Dullard and Deirdre Jacob have been updated in relation to the outcome of these searches.

Gardaí said the results of these searches will not be released for operational reasons.

The  search operation was led by the Serious Crime Review Team, Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation supported by the Garda National Technical Bureau and local resources from Kildare Division as required.

In February, a search was also carried out at a quarry between Baltinglass and Dunlavin.

On that occasion, the relatives of the missing women visited the search site.

An Garda Síochána said today that it continues to appeal to anyone with any information, no matter how small or insignificant you might believe it to be, to contact Kildare Garda station on 045 527 730 or any Garda station, or anyone who wishes to provide information confidentially should contact the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111.
