Concern grows for missing Dublin woman

Gardaí have issued photographs of a woman missing from her home in Dublin since last week.

Blathnaid Timothy, 33, was reported missing by her flatmate after she failed to return home or contact friends or family for a number of days.

Gardaí have established she used her ATM card at the National Irish Bank machine at Sir John Rogerston Quay in Dublin at 8pm on Tuesday December 14 last, and hailed a taxi immediately afterwards.

Blathnaid was seen on CCTV getting into the rear passenger side door and the cab, which drove west along Sir John Rogerston Quay towards the city centre.

The taxi appears to be a black Mercedes.

When last seen, Ms Timothy was wearing a black three-quarter length wool coat, dark, possibly grey jeans and a scarf, possibly black and red.

Gardaí are now appealing for the driver of the taxi to contact them.
