Fresh appeal issued over Mayo man missing in Northern Ireland

A renewed appeal for information has been issued in the search for a Mayo man missing in Northern Ireland.

George Brennan, 38, from Claremorris, was last seen on Wednesday, April 2 in Ballycastle, Co. Antrim, and his friends and family have not heard from him since.

A member of the public has since come forward to the PSNI to advise them that they saw a man with a backpack hitch-hiking at the Lisnakilly roundabout outside Limavady at around 4.45 p.m. on Monday, April 14.

They said they saw the man get into a white van travelling in the direction of Ballykelly, Co. Derry.

It is understood that Mr. Brennan may have links to the Causeway Coast and Glens area as well as the mid and east Co. Antrim area.

A PSNI spokesperson said: “We would ask anyone else who may have seen this man to come forward to police. We are also keen to speak to the van driver.

“If anyone has any other information relating to George’s whereabouts, we continue to ask that you contact police on 101, quoting reference number 831 of 12/04/25.”

An Garda Siochána can also be contacted at 1800 - 25-00-25.

Mr. Brennan's family and friends are deeply concerned for his wellbeing and added his disappearance is completely out of character.

A family spokesperson said: "We are heartbroken. George is deeply loved and we just want to know that he is safe."
