'Sighting' of missing woman
Missing woman
Attracta Harron was last seen walking to Mass
The family of a missing County Tyrone woman have been distributing leaflets in Dublin following an unconfirmed sighting in the city centre.

Attracta Harron, 65, was last seen at 0930 GMT on 11 December when she went to Mass at Murlough Chapel in Lifford, in County Donegal.

A woman matching the description of the 65-year-old retired librarian was seen near Dublin's Ha'penny Bridge last Sunday in a confused state and asking for money.

At the time of her disappearance, Mrs Harron was wearing a red duffle-style coat and grey trousers. She is described as being 5ft 2ins, with shoulder-length blonde hair.

Her family have said they were extremely worried by her "completely uncharacteristic" disappearance.

Police in Strabane in conjunction with the Garda Siochana carried out a reconstruction of events on Thursday - one week since she was last seen.

Underwater teams have searched waterways in the Strabane and Lifford areas while nearby countryside was also combed.
