GARDAÍ in County Galway have issued a public appeal for assistance in tracing a 53-year-old man who has not been seen for eight days.
Joe Stephens from Oranmore was last seen on Tuesday the 17th, when he visited a friend in Ferbane, Co Offaly.
When last seen he was driving a navy-coloured Renault Megane hatchback, which is described as having a large rear spoiler and a very loud exhaust. Its registration number is 99-G-7935.
He is described as being 5’4″ in height and of stocky build. He has sallow skin, blue eyes, and short brown hair which is balding at the front.
When last seen he was wearing a navy polo shirt, blue jeans and a red-black outdoor jacket. He was also wearing a gold ring on his right hand, and a gold necklace.
Anyone with information on Joe’s whereabouts is asked to contact Gardaí in Oranmore at 091 388030, in Galway at 091 538000, or the Garda Confidential line at 1800 666 111.
Re: the Somalia story. It’s very depressing how most of the comments on that article are either demanding that his citizenship be revoked, or that he lose his job. After all, from what is in that article he was trying his best to fix a broken country and risked his life!
Yeah people are a bitter bunch alright some comments even wondered how his job was held for him while he was in somalia
Actually the Dow Jones was dropping as the President was speaking… not in the wake of his speech…nothing he said made that happen!
I watched his speech on CNN this evening . I thought he outlined his position clearly and that he had accepted that the measures which the US is about to take to help control their debt would not be enough as there hadnt been the political will in the city to go the full way and put through tougher measures. i would like to see some of the Irish politicians be as honest as I thought he was….
have your say
