Gardaí renew appeal for 75-year-old missing from Dublin

Patrick Cremin has not been seen for fifteen days since he went missing from the Dublin 8 area.

GARDAÍ HAVE RENEWED their appeal for help in tracing a 75-year-old man who has been missing from Dublin for more than two weeks.

Patrick Cremin has not been seen since Sunday 2 December when he went missing from the Dublin 8 area.

Gardaí say they now believe Patrick was seen outside Heuston Station talking to a couple at around 7pm on the night he went missing.

The pensioner is described as being 5′ 8″ in height, of slight built, and with a strained speaking voice due to a recent operation on his throat. When last seen he was wearing a black jacket, red scarf, beige jumper and light brown trousers.

Anyone who may have seen Patrick outside Heuston Station on the evening of 2 December or who has any information on his whereabouts is asked to contact Kevin Street Garda Station on 01 – 666 9400, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.

    They’ll need more than 4.6 million to persuade the CFMEU. It would want to be a lot faster than the cartoon to keep up with some of the Aussie crews, 2 months me hole, 2 weeks more like.

    Bricklaying is an art when building arches,Flemish garden bonds and feature work,no machine can take away the skill involved when built by a craftsman,no more bricklayers training simply because it’s hard work outside in all types of weather,young people want the money not the trade,I’m a bricklayer and proud.

    I’d say the “no more bricklayers training” bit is probably down to a massive collapse in the construction industry no?

    The most likely advance will be 3D printing. using new alloys etc they can now simply printout full size buildings. this had already been done, along with a a bridge which was basically made on the go.
