Search for missing Swede called off

The search for a 22-year-old Swedish man who went missing on the Mcgillycuddy Reeks in County Kerry has been called off for the night and will resume at first light.

Olas Jansenn set out on Tuesday morning - his family haven't heard from him since receiving a text message that night.

Tim Murphy of Kerry Mountain Rescue tonight said that they haven't lost hope of finding him alive, but he said that today's search was hampered by the bad weather.
