New leaflet launched for missing

An information leaflet has been launched to provide assistance to families and friends of people who have disappeared.

When Someone is Missing offers pointers on reporting a person missing and advice for those left behind.

The leaflet is linked to a new website, www.missingpersons.ie. The leaflet will be available by contacting info@missingpersons.ie or 087 9087956.

Another website aimed at people who go missing in Ireland, www.peoplemissing.org, is already in operation, and the Garda website, www.garda.ie, includes a section on missing people.

Mr Robert Lynch, who co-produced the leaflet, said www.missingpersons.ie would contain information and links to other missing persons services across Europe and places such as Australia.
