Location of kidnapped Irish oil worker still unknown

The whereabouts of an Irish oil worker reportedly kidnapped in Ecuador in October is still unclear after a ransom of $25,000 (€23,800) was handed over to his abductors last month by his Argentinean employers.

John Buckley, 60, from Kilmucklin, Co Offaly, who had been living in Britain with his family, was abducted with a colleague.
