Gardaí seek help tracing relatives of seriously ill man

Gardaí in Dublin are seeking help from the public in tracing the relatives of a man who is seriously ill in hospital.

Thirty-two-year-old Philip O'Brien is being treated at Connolly Hospital in Blanchardstown.

He lives at Ushers Island, but has also lived in Raheny and is believed to have family in north Co Dublin.

Meanwhile, Gardaí are also trying to trace the family of a 71-year-old man who died in Dublin last month.

Patrick Dineen, from St Brican's Park in Arbour Hill, died of natural causes on April 10th of April and his body has been resting at the City Morgue since.

He retired from Dublin Corporation in 2001 and is a son of William Dineen and Mary Hickey, who were from Lady's Well in Blackpool, Co Cork.
