Police in the Irish Republic have renewed their appeal for information about a County Fermanagh man who has been missing for more than two weeks.

Paul McQuaid, 25, who is from Irvinestown near Enniskillen, was last seen in a bar in Dublin city centre on Friday 11 May.

He had gone to Judge Roy Beans bar with colleagues from the Electricity Supply Board, where he worked as a systems analyst.

Mr McQuaid left the bar shortly after midnight on 11 May as he had planned to work the following morning.

However, he failed to turn up for work and has not been seen since.

Posters have been erected in the city appealing for help in tracing Mr McQuaid, whose disappearance is a mystery.

Gardai Detective Inspector John Murphy said they were very concerned, but hoped that someone would recognise the missing man's photograph on the posters.


We have not located Paul on any of the videos

"He had a mobile phone with him on the night, but it hasn't been used since," he said.

"His bank accounts haven't been interfered with or used since. There have actually been no confirmed sightings of Paul since that night."

Friends say he loved his job and his life in Dublin.

Mr Murphy said there were few leads in the investigation.

"In the city centre there are a number of video cameras and we have our own CCTV system. We've checked those videos and we're checking them on an ongoing basis.

"But we haven't located Paul on any of the videos."

The McQuaid family have travelled to Dublin to help police in the search, in the hope that Paul will be found.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the police on 00 3531 6664800.
