‘Daddy is lost’, partner of missing man Diarmuid Twomey tells children

The partner of a man who vanished a week ago said she’s losing hope of finding him alive.

Ciara Byrne, who is desperately trying to solve the mysterious disappearance of her partner, Diarmuid Twomey, in Cork last Sunday week, said she has told their two young daughters that “Daddy is lost”.

“First I told them that Daddy got lost but now I’m thinking I might have to just tell them that he’s in heaven,” Ms Byrne said yesterday as searches for Mr Twomey continued on the outskirts of the city.
