Around 1,000 people took part in the search today for Robert Holohan, who has been missing since Tuesday.

Today's search for the 11-year-old from Midleton concentrated on the Dungorney and Mogeely areas of Cork and the party covered around six square miles looking for traces of Robert.

Volunteers came from all around the country and were helped by the Garda helicopter, the sub-aqua team and mounted units, as well as the army.

The search has been called off for the night and will resume in the morning.
