Gardaí have appealed to the public for information as the family of a missing Cork man Frank McCarthy mark the 30th anniversary of his disappearance on Sunday.
Frank was last seen by his mother at 6.30pm on February 12th 1993 when he was leaving the family home in Mayfield on the northside of Cork City.
He headed for a local short cut through a nearby field which led to Mayfield Business Park, walking in the direction of a local shopping centre.
When last seen, Frank was wearing navy tracksuit pants, green sweater and a wine-coloured three-quarter length jacket, white runners. Frank is described as being 5′ 10′' in height with dark brown hair and brown eyes.
