Search for Philip Cairns to continue for third day

A DIG at a Dublin golf course as part of the search for Philip Cairns, who has been missing for 23 years, is likely to continue into a third day.

Over two decades after the then 13-year-old schoolboy went missing while walking to school, a Garda team spent a second day exploring ground beside the Grange Golf Club off the Whitechurch Road in Rathfarnham yesterday.

The search of the wooded area, not far from the Cairns home in Ballyroan Road, began on Wednesday after information emerged following an appeal last year.
