The mother of missing Irish woman Jill Meagher has made an impassioned plea for information.

Edith McKeon says her daughter who is 29-years-old “is a fighter”.

Jill is originally from Drogheda in Co. Louth.

She went missing in the early hours of Saturday morning.

She was last seen at about 1:30am on Saturday when she left friends at a bar in Melbourne to walk the short distance home.

Her husband Thomas raised the alarm when she never arrived.

He spoke to ABC News this morning.

“So I mean like whatever happened has happened and I just want to know” he said.

“I just want to know what happened”.

“Obviously all I want to see is her walk in the door; but…any clues are welcome absolutely” he added.

Police in Melbourne say homicide detectives take on ‘any case of a suspicious nature where a person goes missing and there is a possibility they may have been met with foul play’.

She is described as being of a fair complexion, 165cms tall, slim build, long curly black hair and brown eyes.

She was wearing a blue dress, black jacket, black patterned stockings and high heels.

Police are concerned that the disappearance is out of character.

Investigators are appealing for anyone with information about her whereabouts to contact police and in particular would like to speak to anyone who was at Bar Etiquette or Brunswick Green in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Her mother Edith spoke with Fairfax Media.

She says Jill called her brother shortly before she went missing.
