AUSTRALIAN POLICE ARE urging for the public’s assistance in locating an Irishman they are searching for, but are warning people not to approach him if they see him.
New South Wales Police said that Daniel Twohig, 31, is wanted in relation to an outstanding conviction warrant for numerous offences, including assaulting a police officer.
Police believe that Twohig has overstayed his visa. They have received information that he may have travelled to Victoria.
He is described as being of caucasian appearance, of a medium build, with brown hair and blue eyes.
“Anyone who sees Mr Twohig is urged not to approach him,” New South Wales Police said in a statement on Facebook.
Those who see him are asked to contact police immediately by calling 000, or Australian Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Police are also urging anyone with information in relation to Twohig to call Crime Stoppers or use their online reporting page here.
“Information you provide will be treated in the strictest confidence. We remind people they should not report crime information via our social media pages.”

I totally blame Fine Gael.
The young sons of Ireland like poor Daniel have had to emigrate and commit their crimes within a foreign legal system that may mete out harsh and cruel sentences that may even involve jail time.
The Irish State/Taxpayer should fund a rescue mission and provide him with all he needs on his return.

@alphanautica:
Just like they did for Halawa and Tubrity don’t forget a slot on the Late Late for him.
Jeakers will someone get his mammy to ring him and tell him to cop on, making a show of us!!!
Nothing a giant boot up the backside won’t fix:
@Ruairi Gagarin: and quick, we don’t want our diplomatic relations with Aussies to crumble
I’m pretty sure this lad is from Cork. He was living in the same hostel in Perth years ago. Looks like he’s still living the dream.
What if you want to ask him the time?
@Ian Heaton: He looks like the sort of gurrier who would respond with ‘Time ye bought a bleeding’ watch’!
History replayed, only difference is the ability to get back home, God be with days of van demons land like… :)
Twohig is that an Irish name ?
@James2015: I never heard of it before either but apparently it’s from Galway, it’s original Irish spelling,O’Tuathaigh means “ruler” and are some far of descendants of Niall and the nine hostages.
You learn something new everyday ;-)
@James2015: He’s as Cork as you can get
He prob burnt the shrimp on the barby
A large majority of the Irish people down under are drunken idiots.
@Andy Jackson: Stats to back that up please?
@Andy Jackson: his mothers gona kill him when he gets home. #woodenspoon
@Andy Jackson: good man Andy your some man for the tar and brush
@Andy Jackson: Sure doesn`t everyone love the Irish, aren`t they great craic.?
@Andy Jackson: a large majority of us over here are not! Idiot.
A new wild colonial boy?
He doesn’t look like a dangerous man….Aussie police are good at lying!
@Thosj Carroll: what does a dangerous man look like ?
@martin dolan: They say it’s as big as four cats and it’s got a retractable leg so’s it can leap up at you better. And you know what, Ted, it lights up at night and it’s got four ears, two of them are for listening and the other two are kind of back-up ears. Its claws are as big as cups and for some reason, it’s got a tremendous fear of stamps! Mrs Doyle was telling me that it’s got magnets on its tail, so’s if you’re made out of metal it can attach itself to you and instead of a mouth, it’s got four arses!
I hope he gets help if he’s having mental problems. He’s a young man full of potential.
have your say
