Search for man focuses on river

THE Civil Defence Unit using boats and underwater cameras joined in the search yesterday for a 26-year-old man who hasn’t been seen for nearly three weeks.

The Cork City Civil Defence Unit and the Blackwater Search & Rescue Unit trawled the River Lee looking for Stephen O’Connor.

Mr O’Connor, who is single and from Inishmore Park, Ballincollig, was last seen in the town’s Main Street on December 9.
