New searches are underway this morning following the disappearance of Michael Gaine.
Gardaí confirm they have resumed operations at Carrig East in Kenmare, but say they're not in a position to provide any further information at this time.
Radio Kerry's Jerry O'Sullivan was in Carrig East earlier:
56 year old Michael went missing on March 20th, and the investigation was upgraded to a homicide inquiry in April.
Gardaí have undertaken over 320 formal enquiries, taken almost 130 witness statements, recovered approximately 2,200 hours of CCTV and dash-cam footage and have conducted extensive searches over the past eight weeks.
The Garda Investigation Team can be contacted at Killarney Garda Station on 064 667 1160, the Garda Confidential Line at 1800 666 111, or speak with any member of An Garda Síochána at any Garda Station nationwide.
