CALLOUTS AND APPEAL FOR INFORMATION ON MISSING PERSON: The team was tasked by AGS on Tuesday afternoon to search for a missing male hillwalker on Mount Brandon. He was last seen near the summit of Mount Brandon on Sunday last at approximately 15.30. Please see a photograph of the man attached. The team is seeking information from anyone who may have seen this man at any stage on the hill or around the general Brandon area from Sunday afternoon onwards. If you have any information, please contact Di**le Garda Station.
The search has been ongoing for the past 3 days with assistance from SARDA, Di**le Coast Guard, and Coast Guard Heli R115.
Extensive ground and air searches have been carried out since the alarm was raised on Tuesday, but unfortunately the casualty has yet to be located. Weather and visibility have deteriorated considerably in the last 36 hours making for difficult search conditions.
We would like to acknowledge the support and incredible hospitality of the locals in the Brandon/Cloghane area, who have kept us fuelled with endless supplies of food, teas and coffees. Your kindness is very much appreciated. Special mention also to the SARDA dog teams who have worked with us through some less than ideal conditions in the last couple of days.
The search operation will continue over the weekend.
In other news, the team responded to a separate incident late last night on Carrauntoohil after a male hillwalker fell while descending Br. O'Shea's route. The man was treated on scene for a suspected collarbone fracture and lowered to safety, while two of his companions were also assisted off the hill. We wish the casualty a speedy recovery.
