Garda helicopter joins search for missing woman

The garda helicopter has joined the search for a 65-year-old Dublin woman with Alzheimer's, who has been missing since Tuesday morning.

The family of Margaret (Peggy) Mangan have said they are very concerned for her well-being.

She left Mount Tallant Avenue in Terenure for a walk with her dog just after 11am, but has not returned home.

Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland programme, family member, Cian Lynch said Ms Mangan was a very active woman and relatives are concerned that she has walked miles from her home.

She was seen with her dog, a cavalier King Charles spaniel called Casper on Clanbrassil Street at around 12pm.

She was spotted on the Finglas Road at about 3pm and again in Phibsboro at 6pm.

The family said the last confirmed sighting of Ms Mangan was near Glasnevin Cemetery at around 6.50pm on Tuesday evening.

Mr Lynch said: "We had a number of additional, unconfirmed sightings yesterday, but the focus at the moment is in Finglas and Glasnevin."

Gardaí have released CCTV footage of Peggy walking with her dog.

Ms Mangan is 1.57m (5'2") tall, of very slim build and was wearing black trousers and a white, hooded fleece when she left home.

Her family say she left home with no money and no travel pass, and have appealed to anyone who may have seen her to contact Terenure Garda Station on 01-6666400.
