Gardaí are renewing their appeal for the public's help in tracing the whereabouts of 41-year-old Jon Jonsson.

Jon, who is from Iceland, was last seen in the Whitehall area of Dublin at approximately 11.00am on Saturday February 9th.

He is described as being six foot tall, of medium build and with short brown hair.

When last seen he was wearing a black padded jacket.

Despite ongoing searches he has yet to be located.

He came to Dublin on holiday with his fiancée to attend a poker tournament.

He left the Bonnington Hotel, formerly known as the Regency Hotel, on February 9th and was seen on CCTV at McGettigan's Bar at 11.07am, exiting onto the Swords Road heading northbound towards the airport.
