STEPHEN DAVITT HAS been missing since Saturday January 24.
His car was found near the tower on Mornington Beach, Meath at 8pm that night.
Stephen’s family are appealing to anybody who may have seen him on the beach to come forward.
The 47-year-old is described as 6’2 in height, with brown eyes and a slim build.
Gardaí are currently trying to establish a timeline and are looking to speak to anyone who may have been on the beach and noticed a wine coloured Hyundai 4×4, or anything unusual, between 1pm and 9pm on that day.
A limited search was carried out yesterday and a more thorough search of the area is planned for this afternoon.
Anyone with information is being asked to contact Gardaí at Laytown on 041 982 7074.

Double rates for big days guaranteed
@Thomas Meaney: Double? You’re being mad optimistic there.
Cool we can put more homeless families there for double the room rates. Sure its only the tax payers money…..
Ad nauseam angry “help the homeless” posters continuously spitting out their anger in so many posts against nearly every article. Why don’t you get your thumbs and tapping fingers out and organise continuous protests on the street or helped with the homeless yourselves? That would make the difference. Thumbs up and comments here and likes on Facebook is just a complete waste of time, bandwidth, is misguided and not good for the environment (https://www.statista.com/statistics/580087/energy-use-of-facebook/). Get out into the real world and show how angry you are, you’re doing no good here!
But none of you will do anything in the real world, we all know that!
@Paul Furey: so can we take it you’re in favour of homelessness?
Great News more jobs
@john: Jobs – one at the desk, a couple of cleaners and possibly a few chefs. There’s not many jobs in some hotels these days. Their trying to make it digital
@Whoswho: way to go man … always thinking of the positive….
It’s going to build itself is it? FFS.
@Whoswho: you fool. Front of house might be digital but hotels are one of the most labour intensive types of business. Great news, the jobs are broadly spread as well. Don’t forget a lot of ongoing maintenance painting and decorating etc. In the future.
@Whoswho: Go away you silly troll.
@john: Where are the staff going to live? Galway?
Dublin is for Tourists
@Sam: don’t like it leave!
@Joe: he has a point.
@David Clements: she
@David Clements: A pint probably.
Can the homeless people living in tents around Croke, come and hang out in their lounge?
@Luke13: They are more than welcome to apply for jobs. I am sure work is available for all skill sets.
@Luke13: They can get married ,have a few kids and live in it in a few years…they get a room…
@Sal Paradise: lol, the only way a homeless person will get into that hotel will be via the emergency accommodation scheme.
We need houses more than we need hotels. What we have is so piecemeal at the moment. Someone buys some land and then decides what to do with it (hold it, build apartments, houses, luxury houses, student accommodation, offices, hotel). What’s needed is a plan for the city that takes in housing needs, hotel and business needs in a large scale strategic way.
@lambda sensor: there is a Development plan for the city 2016 to 2022. The Minister for Housing had driven a coach and four thru the plan with his strategic development
Provisions and the National Dev Plan. Board planala disregards the plan in large measure and the officials on Dublin City Council have also ignored the plan when it suits them. City councillors who approved the plan tend to stay quiet about the ignoring or breaches of the plan. So no more plans please that mean little or nothing .
Does no one else fear that we are going to be stuck with ghost hotels in the future? Or is this part of the bigger plan to house people?
@Full Circle: we don’t need more jobs in the hotel sector….cannot fill vacancies as it is
No builders in the country to build houses, plenty for offices and hotels though…
A new hotel in Dublin is pretty lame news.
What next how Brendan Howlin plans to spend his retirement?
@Davis Payne: he’ll probably be spending it as Ceann Comhairle
2023?
Get the chinese builders in and it could be open yesterday:
That wasn’t thought out very well. The old Big Tree pub on the junction of The NCR and Dorset Street is being turned into a hotel, and id guess the people who drank in it when it was a pub will still go there out of nostalgia.
Great for the neighborhood. Those lots are eyesores
have your say
