The Commissioner also appealed for anyone with any information, which could help any missing person’s case, to come forward.
Earlier the Minister for Justice Frances Fitzgerald welcomed families to Farmleigh on what she described as a "very special, very important and very difficult" day.
Ms Fitzgerald said it was important that the State recognises an issue which affects so many citizens.
