Dingle is missing a favourite son, TV presenter Dáithí Ó Se said, as the much-loved dolphin Fungie has been missing for more than a week. 

The town has been scouring the area for the world-famous bottlenose, and even called in Mallow sub aqua unit to search the harbour, using sonar to scan the sea bed and sending out divers — but Fungie has not been found.
