Emergency Services Search For Missing Wicklow Woman In Mayo

Searches are continuing in county Mayo for a Wicklow woman missing from her home since late last week.

55-year old Beatrice Coughlan from Eden gate, was last seen in the Delgany area last Thursday.

Her car was found at the Ceide Fields in north Mayo in the night she went missing.

Ballina Gardai traced the registration number to Ms Coughlan, and her family subsequently reported her as missing.

Following a request by Gardai, the Coast Guard helicopter, and other emergency services, including two specialist search dogs have been searching around the Ceide Fields tourist centre.

While weather conditions have limited the searches,  Gardai have also appealed to local landowners and residents, to search their lands and outhouses for any sign of the missing woman.
