GARDAÍ ARE SEARCHING for two Dublin men who have been missing for almost 48 hours and are believed to have travelled to Cavan.

The two men, both in their 30s, have not been seen since Tuesday evening when they  travelled to Cavan together in a silver Ford Focus car.

Eoin O’Connor, 32, was last seen at Kilbarron Avenue in Coolock. He is described as being 6 feet tall, of stocky build, with short brown hair and blue eyes. When he was last seen, he was wearing grey tracksuit bottoms and a blue jacket with a hood.

Anthony Keegan, 33, is described as being 5 feet 10, of medium build, with short brown hair and brown eyes.

Reports suggest that the men’s disappearance may be connected to a major crime gang.

Gardaí are searching for anyone who may have seen the two men or the silver car with the registration 04 D 46280.

Investigating officers have asked anyone with information to contact Ballymun garda station on 01 666 4400, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.
