Gardaí in Dublin and Galway are seeking help from the public in tracing two missing persons.

Detectives say they are growing increasingly worried about a 44-year-old man who has been missing since taking a taxi from his home on the South Circular Road last Saturday.

The man is 5'6" tall, of slim build, with grey hair. When last seen, he was wearing a black jacket, navy jeans, a light scarf and brown boots.

Gardaí say he may require urgent medical attention.

Meanwhile, detectives in Galway are seeking information on a 17-year-old youth who has been missing from his accommodation in Salthill since February 7.

Sam Connolly is described as 6ft tall, of slim build, with tight, sandy-coloured hair and a pale complexion.
