Gardaí investigating the disappearance of Kenmare man Michael Gaine, say they've undertaken 230 formal inquiries and taken nearly 100 witness statements since the search began.
However, despite extensive enquiries, they say they still don't know happened to Michael on the 20th March last - and this evening, they've renewed their appeal for information.
His family have still had no contact from him, and are extremely concerned for his well-being.

He bought phone credit in Centra, Kenmare at 9.48am and then left in his bronze coloured RAV4 - registration 152 KY 366 - which was later found parked in his farmyard, just off the N71 at Carrig East.
Michael is described as being approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall with a stocky build, brown/grey hair and a bushy beard.
