A major search operation is to step up a gear at the weekend as searches are continuing along the east coast of the Inishowen Peninsula in Donegal for the missing Strabane-based doctor, Deirdre Donnelly-O'Flaherty.
Patrick Gillespie from the Irish Coastguard said a major shore and sea search was planned for this Saturday.
"People are coming from Belfast, it's a big area to cover, we're going east and west of the bay and down to Culdaff."
Dr Donnelly-O'Flaherty - from Strabane - has not been seen since Sunday when her car was found at Kinnego Bay.
It is understood the mother-of-three's keys were found in the ignition of her car.
