'We will never give up hope of finding Columba'

North West Today

Available for 5 days

The sister of Columba McVeigh speaks to North West Today as the most recent search for his remains ends without success. Dympna Kerr says she is heartbroken but 'will never give up hope' of finding Columba. And a rail campaigner tells us ambitious plans for the future of cross-border travel, which may take up to 20 years to complete, could turn into the next A5. Also on the show we hear from local traders as the Christmas rush begins and visit Amelia Court in Derry, which has once again transformed into a winter wonderland.
