Gardai are to begin searches in south Kildare today as part of an investigation into the suspected murders of two women more than 20 years ago.
The searches relate to the disappearance of 18-year-old Deirdre Jacob in 1998, and 21-year-old Jo Jo Dollard in 1995.
Detectives do not believe both cases are linked, but are said to be investigating new leads in both inquiries.
The searches, in woodland close to the Wicklow border, are expected to continue for a number of weeks.
