Sinn Féin MP Paul Maskey has expressed condolences to the family of John George after a body was found in Spain.
The West Belfast MP said:
“I want to express my heartfelt condolences to the family of John George after a body was found on Tuesday in Spain.
“This is tragic news for John’s loved ones who have been courageously searching for him after he went missing on December 14.
“I have been in contact with Billy George, John’s father, throughout this period and as recently as last night where he informed me that a body had been found.
“I now hope John’s body can be returned home to Ireland as quickly as possible to allow his heart-broken family and friends to have a dignified funeral.
“May he rest in peace.”
