A search was due to resume this Thursday morning for a man in his 60s, missing amid freezing temperatures in west Co Limerick, since last Monday night.
The missing man, named locally as Joe Noonan, from Kilmallick, Co Limerick, was last seen in the Granagh-Ballingarry area of the county in the early hours of last Tuesday and may have travelled to the Croom area.
It is one of several parts hit hardest by treacherous snow and ice conditions.

A land and air search for Mr Noonan (62) began yesterday, Wednesday, across frozen fields, ditches, farms and byways.
A team of local volunteers, assisted by Gardaí, as well as the Shannon-based Irish Coast Guard rescue helicopter, Rescue 115, carried out a comprehensive search of the Granagh area in difficult conditions before the operation was stood down for the night.
Appealing for information Thursday, Gardaí stated: "Joe is described as being approximately 5 feet 9 inches in height with a medium build, short grey hair and blue eyes.
"When last seen, Joe was wearing a grey knee length coat and black beanie hat and was carrying a backpack.
"Gardaí and Joe's family are concerned for his wellbeing, and anyone with information on Joe’s whereabouts is asked to contact Newcastle West Garda Station on 069 20650, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda station."
In a second appeal in the county, Gardaí sought the public's assistance in tracing the whereabouts of 27-year-old Hubert Szubiak who was reported missing from his home in Bruff, Wednesday morning.
Mr Szubiak is described as being approximately 5 feet 9 inches in height with a slim build, brown hair and brown eyes.
When last seen, he was wearing a black hoodie with blue writing, black pants, and glasses, and may have been driving a grey Audi A6 with 09-MH registration plate.
Anyone with information on Mr Szubiak’s whereabouts is asked to contact Bruff Garda Station on 061 382 940, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.
