For anyone to be disappeared is a devastating crime on its own, whether they deserved to die or not ,but the sad fact is, Its the families who are left behind who suffer, awaiting a call to say remains have been located, I'm so sorry to here of Mrs Daly's passing away, that on top of everything else adds to the burden.
I hope closure comes to the whole family circle of the Daly family, then they can rest there son/Brother/uncle in peace.

it must have been a stressful moment when you heard that news. That familt at least now have some closure

Hugh,

Thank you for your kind words. All our family is asking is for Gerry's body to be returned.

As hard as this may be for some people to understand, our family as most of the families in this situation, are looking for our loved ones and not for retribution.

There comes a time, when the who and why do not matter. The thought that our parents will themselves complete the circle of life not knowning where their child is, is a heartbreaking senario that may become reality if no one has the courage to tell us where Gerry is.

An anonymous tip to a church member, newspaper notice, letter to the family or any other means possible would be a gift our family would never forget.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Belinda

Belinda.

I sincerely hope you get closure, im sure it is heartbreaking for your whole family circle, please disregard those who write such stupid things, as you stated, someone knows something, and if they would just cut some words and numbers out off any newspaper and post the same to a newspaper or tv news station the location of your brother.
God Bless you all.
Hugh

2012-01-11T21:04:30.270Z

As you are aware, skeleton remains were found this weekend very close to our family home in Dublin.

While our family gathered and waited nervously for the idenity of this person, we could not help but wish for the best and worst news of our lives. It is bitter sweet to hear that this was not to be our time.

However, another family now get the opportunity to bury their loved one and begin rebuilding their lives.

So rest in peace James Kenny McDonagh.

Thank you all for your kinds words. As we approach the 200th day since Gerry went missing, all our family asks is for him to be returned and for us to be alllowed to bury him with the respect he deserves. - Belinda

Belinda,

It is sickening that any would make an unsubstantiated claim. I would be more concerned with the perpetrators who are still at large and could possibly inflict the same on another family. I wonder if Naill would consider their actions justified and not the sociopathic people they are without a shred of human conscience.

I suppose it is simple for some to be callous though they like the rest of us would not begin to understand the misery inflicted upon your family and would only be concerned god forbid if it happened to a loved one of theirs.

You have been extremely gracious and brave under the circumstances and I for one would like to be kept informed of your hellish nightmare.

Belinda,

you have been so gracious in the face of that type of innuendo from people who conceal their identity behind some pen name. Having the courage of their convictions is not for everyone it seems

2012-01-04T20:59:28.557Z

Tain Bo & Marty- Thank you for your support.
Niall- While I am a firm believer that we all have a right to our own opinion, I as Gerry's sister can only write of what I know.
And this is what I know...
Gerry was, like many people, a man who made it to 42 with some of the scratches in life we all aquire.
He has never been arrested or convicted of any crime. He was not a gambler, peadophile or gangster. He has friends and family who love him dearly. He has three young boys who miss their Daddy and a mother and father who spend every day searching for him, every night fighting their imagination as to what may have happened to him and when they are exhausted and can think no more, cry themselves to sleep.
So whatever my brother has or has not done to end up with this fate, his family do not deserve the nightmare they find themselves in.
My hope is that one day soon we will find Gerry and that you and your family never have to experience the torture of loosing your child. And if you do find yourself in any kind of a horrific situation, we, the Daly family will be here to support you and help you get through the dark days.

2012-01-04T17:15:53.817Z

Niall,

I agree with Marty on this whatever the man done he has paid the price for that does not mean his family should be tortured and denied their right to bury a loved one.
It is a gruesome practice and with all the cases of the disappeared, the punishment of families does not fit the (alleged) crime of their loved ones.
We are hardened with street justice but to defend the practice of secretly burying a body to me is abhorrently sociopathic.

Niall G Daly could be the biggest paedo tout drugdealer gangster in the country and may have indeed crossed people but and this is the but,, any issues with G daly should not include his family they do not deserve the heartache such action if he is dissapeared bring to their lives

2012-01-03T00:09:58.546Z

Belinda,

I do not know if you have had contact with other families of the “disappeared” since they have suffered the same ordeal they might be able to give you more insight on how to keep this is the public spotlight as well as helping you and your family deal with the mental anguish.

Again, my sincerest hopes that someone will provide the information that will bring you and your family some peace and relief.

Tain Bo,

No one just vanishes into thin air. Someone knows exactly what has happened to Gerry and it is our hope that they will find it within their heart to allow our family to bury Gerry and work toward rebuilding our lives. Your kind words are greatly appreciated. Belinda

Belinda,

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I can only hope that someone out there who knows anything will come forward and help end your suffering.

2011-12-31T19:05:03.564Z

Thank you all for your kind words and support. Please just tell our family where his body is, and let the us have a funeral and burial'.

We have been through a horrific six months and spend each day comforting Gerry three young boys who wonder where their Daddy is.

We are looking to end our nightmare, to give his mother somewhere to go to grieve for her son and to insure that his children know that he is in heaven and not that he left them because he doesn't love them. Kids can be cruel and these children have suffered enough.

Our family are not seeking retribution, but rather closure on this nightmare, closure to Gerry's life and the begining of our grieving process.

Thank you for any assistance that you can give us.- Belinda

2011-12-30T13:00:13.191Z

It was always stupid, nonsensical and downright dumb (and I mean the word “dumb” in it’s American sense), i.e. no brains involved. I am of course talking about the conflict in the north to take people away kill them and secretly bury them. I think I seen in that book about the ”Dark” that he argued against it, i.e. if somebody is an informer, leave them at the side of the road, burying them secretly will have no effect on present or potential informers. It was crazy and was always going to come back to haunt people (especially those who “had nothing to do with anything”). In this case, just tell the family (through a priest or some-one else) where his body is, and let the family have a decent funeral and burial.

2011-12-27T20:13:24.741Z

On behalf of the Daly family a sincere thanks to Anthony and everyone for their support. As you can imagine, our family are devestated by the ongoing situation we find ourselves in. Gerry has been missing for six months and we are desperate for information that may give us some closure. Gerry is a father, brother, son, husband and friend. He is dearly missed by all and his dissapearance has left a gap in our hearts. Thank you for your support in our search. -Belinda Daly

Nuala,

I find the PQ educational and always learn something from the posts and articles. The way I view it is no matter how much I think I know (which is not much) or think I know it always pales in comparison to that which I learn here.

It is usually the first thing I read in the morning, as people here tend to be more open, honest, and willing to discuss issues in a more reasonable manner.

My only complaint being Anthony is a proficient writer and turns out articles faster than my aging gray matter can keep up with that is a backhanded compliment.

Best wishes to all for 2012 and I look forward to reading, enjoying the posts.
