Yesterday, Thomas's siblings Sarah, Christopher, and Terrence made an emotional plea for help to locate him. It is understood that at 11:08am on Sunday Thomas headed into Drumcondra train station and got on a train.
Christopher said in an update on Thursday: "The guards have tracked it further he gets off the train then goes into the Daybreak shop at 12:13pm he buys two bottles of Coke and a sandwich and he gets a blue plastic bag and walks out the shop.
"He then goes down to Howth village and gets on a bus to the Summit so at 12:38 he gets the bus to the Summit, gets off around the Summit Pub at 12:42 and that's the last known cctv sighting and walks up the area.
"The civil defence and guards are now doing a land search. The shopping bag could be critical because it's very distinctive and people might have spotted it."
A garda spokesman said: "Gardaí and Thomas’ family are concerned for his welfare. Anyone with any information on Thomas’ whereabouts are asked to contact Mountjoy Garda Station on 01 666 8600, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station."
