A widespread search, involving Garda sub-aqua divers and an Air Corps rescue helicopter, is under way in Co Mayo in an attempt to locate a mother-of-three missing since Thursday.

Marion Carr (53), from Anfield, Hollymount, Co Mayo, has not been seen since 2.30pm on Thursday, when she was noticed on Main Street, Ballinrobe.

Her car was later found in the town of Ballinrobe, and over the weekend over 40 neighbours and friends joined gardaí in an extensive search of the nearby river Robe in an area known locally as the Bower's Walk.

Gardaí yesterday appealed for any information that might help them in their search.
