Mr Keaveney is described as being approximately 5'9" in height with a slim build. He is bald and has brown eyes.

The last sighting of Mr Keaveney was walking down toward Centre Park Road/Marina Area of Cork city. He was wearing a pair of navy trousers, a grey Umbro hoodie with the Irish soccer team's logo and white runners.

Gardaí and Mr Keaveney's family say they are very concerned for his welfare.
