In an appeal for information, Garda Superintendent Gavin Hegarty said: “Imelda was known for her quiet demeanour, her love of music and her strong family ties.

“Despite extensive investigations spanning 32 years, the silence surrounding her fate remains unbroken.

“We continue to urge anyone with information or the ability to assist our investigation to come forward.” 

Gardai have released a computer generated “age progressed” image of Ms Keenan, who would now be aged 54.
