The Irish Coast Guard is assisting efforts to find a missing man in the North.
47-year-old Keith McClure was last seen walking his dog in the Ballynahinch area of Co Down at around 11pm last night.
He's described as 5' 10" in height, of medium build and with brown hair and green eyes.
The PSNI this morning said they're growing increasingly concerned for Keith.
In a statement, the Coast Guard here said its R116 helicopter is taking part in the search operation.
They said: "In accordance with standing arrangements a request was received earlier this morning by MRCC Dublin from the UK Maritime Coastguard Agency to assist the PSNI with the search.
"The Dublin based Coast Guard helicopter arrived on scene shortly before first light."
The search is ongoing.
