Hundreds join land and river search for missing student

SEARCHES are to continue this morning for a teenager who has been missing since last being seen in Cork city centre more than four days ago.

Hundreds of volunteers joined emergency services over the weekend in the hope of finding Brían O Tuama, a second-year arts student at University College Cork.

The 19-year-old had been out with friends on Wednesday night and they last saw him outside the McDonald’s restaurant on Daunt Square, at the junction of St Patrick’s Street and Grand Parade, at 2am on Thursday.
