When last seen, Michael was wearing an orange woolly hat, black fleece, blue jeans and black boots
Gardaí continue to appeal to the public for assistance in tracing the whereabouts of 56-year-old Michael Gaine who was reported missing from his home near Kenmare, Co. Kerry on Friday 21st March 2025.
Michael, who also goes by Mike, was last seen in Kenmare town, on this day last week, Thursday, March 20.
Michael bought phone credit in Centra, Kenmare at 9.48am. Michael then left in his Bronze coloured RAV4 registration 152 KY 366. This vehicle was found parked in Michael Gaines farmyard, just off the N71 at Carrig East.
It is now one week since the last sighting of Michael Gaine. Michaels family have had no contact from him and his family and An Garda Síochána are extremely concerned for his well-being.
Michael is described as being approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall with a stocky build, brown/grey hair and a bushy beard.
When last seen, Michael was wearing an orange woolly hat, black fleece, blue jeans and black boots.
Searches have been carried out at Michaels farmyard and in the immediate vicinity. An Garda Síochána continues to work with and is fully supported by other state and voluntary agencies in our ongoing efforts to locate Michael.
An Garda Síochána wishes to thank members of the public who assisted in carrying out searches on open land last weekend.
An Garda Síochána is not requesting the assistance of the general public for further searches, at this time.
However, Gardaí continue to want to speak to any person who travelled on the N71 on Thursday March 20 and/ or any person who may have any camera footage, including dash-cam or CCTV, or any other images (video or still) from Thursday March 20 and Friday March 21 in the Kenmare town / Moll’s Gap (N71/ R568) area to provide that imagery to the Garda investigation team.
Anyone with information on Michael's whereabouts is asked to contact Killarney Garda Station on 064 667 1160, the Garda Confidential Line at 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.
