Gardai have issued an appeal for information after Dublin man Dean McCann was reported missing in Galway over the weekend.
The 28-year-old has not contacted his family since Sunday, February 6 at 9.30am when he was near Eyre Square in Galway.
His sister took to social media in an appeal to the public to help find him and said the family are “heartbroken and worried.”
In the emotional post, Dean’s sister Tara wrote: "My brother Dean McCann, who’s 28 from Dublin left our home on Saturday the 5th of February, we haven’t heard from him since talking on the phone Sunday morning the 6th around 9.30am and he was in Galway around Eyre Square.
"He was driving a grey BMW and he had been in Cork on Saturday evening too. I’m begging everyone I know, and everyone else who can help spread his picture around to please share this. (If you can send it to people with a lot of followers I’d be so grateful and especially people in the west of Ireland - mainly Galway).
"We are so desperate to know where he is, it feels like a nightmare that’s just not ending. My mam and dad and myself and my other brother are so heartbroken and worried."
She went on to write: "All we know about his whereabouts is that he was in Galway on Sunday morning and that he wanted to go where people need help so please keep shelters, hostels, places of refuge in mind, any areas that come to mind."
Gardai are now appealing to the public for assistance in tracing his whereabouts.
In a press release on Tuesday night, they said Dean is described as being 5’ 11'' in height, of slim build, with short brown hair and a beard.
When last seen he was wearing a white t-shirt, black Adidas tracksuit bottoms and a navy Puffa jacket.
Anyone with information on Dean’s whereabouts are asked to contact Santry Garda Station on 01 666 4000, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.
