Gardaí in Dingle have paid tribute to rescue teams and volunteers following the discovery of the remains of a pensioner yesterday who had been missing in the Dingle area since last Friday.
80-year-old Tony Crickard from Belfast was reported missing last Friday when he failed to meet up with family friends as arranged.
Mr Crickard had travelled to the county to attend the funeral of his grand-nephew Shane Crickard of Ballyduff who died in a road crash last week.
Gardaí confirmed that search teams discovered Mr Crickard's remains around 2pm in a field at Baile an bhFionnúrach, at the foot of Mount Brandon.
The last confirmed sighting of Mr Crickard was at Cuas Pier, Brandon Creek at approximately eight thirty on Friday night.
The body was removed from the scene and brought to Kerry General Hospital for post mortem.
The Civil Defense, Dingle Coast and Cliff Resuce and many others have been searching for Mr. Crickard for days.
Sergeant Joe Joyce is thanking all those who took part in the search for Mr Crickard.
