Gardaí are anxious to locate a man (67) who is missing from a Dublin nursing home.

Officers at Ronanstown are appealing for the public's help in finding Liam O'Halloran, who was last seen at the Esso Service Station at the junction of the Long Mile Road and the Naas Road at 1.30am on Sunday morning.
