Missing man's family launch site

Martin Kelly went missing in Belfast
The family and friends of a missing Holywood man have launched a website to try to gain clues to his whereabouts.

Martin Kelly, 21, went missing after going with friends to Pat's Bar in Garmoyle Street in the docks area of Belfast on New Year's Day.

On Thursday, his family and friends were outside Belfast City Hall handing out leaflets and posters containing the new website address.

A large banner of the address has also been printed.

Police and Ministry of Defence divers will begin a search of the waters in the Docks area on Monday.

It is understood they plan to search for 300 metres on either side of the railings where a person was spotted on CCTV on the night Mr Kelly went missing.

Taxi driver

The PSNI have also renewed their appeal for information about Mr Kelly's disappearance.

They said they want to hear from anyone who may have seen him in a nightclub or other premises on the night of 1 January or from any taxi driver who may have collected him and taken him elsewhere.

Mr Kelly's family and friends have previously criticised the police for not doing enough to find him.

Since his disappearance, they have handed out leaflets outside city hall and the Odyssey arena, in an attempt to jog people's memory and gain information.

Last Sunday, they released 100 yellow balloons, before taking part in a search of the docklands and surrounding areas.

Many people also took part in a walk from Pat's Bar back to Mr Kelly's home town of Holywood in County Down.

On the same day, police used dogs and a helicopter, as well as boats, to search from Dee Street in east Belfast to the Holywood Exchange.

Mr Kelly, a plumber and part-time barman, stayed on in Pat's Bar after his friends left and was seen leaving it alone at about 1910 GMT.
