A search is continuing today for a man missing from West Limerick.
73-year-old John McSweeney is missing from his home in Athea since Saturday afternoon.
He is 5 foot 7" in height, of slim build, is bald and is missing a front tooth.
When last seen John was wearing a black coat, a black peaked cap and wellingtons.
There are concerns for his wellbeing given the freezing temperatures over recent days.
