Mentally-Ill Woman Missing From HSE Care
A Co Roscommon woman who has been missing from a Health Service Executive (HSE) residential centre since last month, has now sparked concerns for her safety.
Deirdre Conneely, 32, has a history of mental illness and was living in HSE accommodation in Castlerea, Co Roscommon, before disappearing on May 18.
There are 18 residents at the home, Tithe na gCarad, which is manned by three staff during the day and two by night.
Gardaí in Castlerea say they are focusing their search in and around the River Suck area.
A police spokesman said about 40 people were turning out every day to assist in the search. "Searches are on-going. We are in the water again today," he said, "Personnel are searching on foot within a 10 metre stretch of the embankment and there are further searches downstream in and around the river. We have the sub-aqua team back out again today too."
Deirdre is described as 5ft 7in in height, of medium build, with black shoulder-length hair.
When last seen, she was wearing a black knee-length coat, navy track-suit bottoms, and black shoes.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Castlerea Garda Station on 094-9621630 or the Garda Confidential Line at 1800 666 111.
