The Catholic Archbishop of Armagh Eamon Martin has called

:00:07.:00:12.

for a mechanism of truth and information retrieval

:00:13.:00:16.

which will allow more people to come forward with details

:00:17.:00:19.

about the disappeared and other victims of the Troubles.

:00:20.:00:22.

He was speaking at the annual Palm Sunday Mass for those whose

:00:23.:00:25.

The families of the Disappeared have been attending this special Mass

:00:26.:00:33.

at the Armagh cathedral complex for years.

:00:34.:00:36.

They include relatives who have already had

:00:37.:00:39.

the remains of their loved ones returned to them.

:00:40.:00:41.

Philomena McKee's brother's body was recovered two years ago.

:00:42.:00:49.

The whole Disappeared family, it is like one big family, each one knows

:00:50.:00:59.

each other as truth. I still know what these people have been through.

:01:00.:01:01.

It is so hard and we all understand. Archbishop Martin says legacy issues

:01:02.:01:04.

remain a stumbling block in the peace process and he's

:01:05.:01:06.

calling for a formal mechanism for dealing

:01:07.:01:09.

with truth and information There are many people walking around

:01:10.:01:24.

Phil who have -- still look down inside and and have secrets and they

:01:25.:01:30.

can unlock the grief that so many families are imprisoned. That

:01:31.:01:35.

applies not just to families of the Disappeared but many of the people

:01:36.:01:37.

who don't know the details of what happened the loved ones. There are

:01:38.:01:43.

many unsolved cases are matched -- amongst the Troubles victims so that

:01:44.:01:48.

is why I am also adding to today's message the importance of finding an

:01:49.:01:52.

effective truth and recovery mechanism, and information retrieval

:01:53.:01:56.

process which will help bring some closure to the very many victims

:01:57.:01:57.

here. Columba McVeigh is among

:01:58.:01:58.

the four people whose bodies The human right is for burial and as

:01:59.:02:10.

we have seen a number of weeks ago in Derry, the Republican place of

:02:11.:02:19.

burial and the metal and grave to go to the grief and bereavement and

:02:20.:02:24.

stuff like that, and we are asking the same.

:02:25.:02:25.

Archbishop Martin says in the absence of a formal

:02:26.:02:28.

mechanism, people who know something can bring the information

:02:29.:02:30.

to the clergy or to those they trust in their communities,

:02:31.:02:32.

in a bid to end what he calls this unfinished business.

:02:33.:02:36.

A 35-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of attempted

:02:37.:02:39.

murder after another woman was struck with a hammer

:02:40.:02:41.

It happened at Enfield Parade in north Belfast.

:02:42.:02:48.

The victim, who's in her 20s, was taken to hospital

:02:49.:02:51.

Gardai investigating the murder of Londonderry man Andrew Allen

:02:52.:02:56.

in Donegal five years ago have made an arrest.

:02:57.:02:59.

Mr Allen was shot dead at a house in Buncrana in February, 2012.

:03:00.:03:04.

The dissident group Republican Action Against Drugs

The man arrested is being questioned at Letterkenny Garda station.

More than 170 amateur musicians joined the Ulster Orchestra today

:03:15.:03:18.

to see what it's like to perform with the professionals.

:03:19.:03:23.

People from seven to almost 70 years old took part in the annual

:03:24.:03:27.

Come and Play event, which culminates in a performance of

The Orchestra welcomed a record number of participants this year.
