Gardaí in Dublin are appealing for help to locate a missing Chinese national who was visiting his daughter in Ireland.

YanFun Sun, who is 78-years-old, has been missing since Monday, and was last seen in Dun Laoghaire, south Dublin. Gardaí are concerned as the man does not speak English, suffers from memory loss, and has no knowledge of the area.

Mr Sun was in Ireland visiting his daughter, he left her home in Dun Laoghaire at 8pm on Monday and has not been seen since.

Gardaí are seeking the public’s assistance in trying to locate the elderly man. Gardaí described Mr Sun as being 5’ 9, of a slight build, with grey hair and wearing glasses.
