Teenager Missing In Galway

A family has expressed grave concern for the welfare of a teenager who has gone missing from his home in Galway.

Gardaí at Ballinasloe are seeking the public's assistance in tracing the whereabouts of the 18-year-old Stephen Donnellan, who was last seen on the Roscommon to Ballygar Road at 3am on Thursday 6th August.

Stephen is originally from Crodaun, Forest Park, Celbridge, Co. Kildare. He went missing from his uncle's residence in Drinane, Ballygar, County Galway in the early hours of the morning.

A spokesman for Gardaí said his family are "very concerned for his safety".

Stephen is described as 18 years of age, approximately 6ft tall, with red hair and was last known to be wearing a Galway GAA jersey, possibly also wearing a black anorak, a pair of blue jeans, white runners and was carrying a red hold-all/rucksack bag.

Gardaí are asking anyone with information to contact the Galway stations or the Garda confidential line on 1800 666 111.
