GARDAÍ AND CHARITY Crimestoppers have launched an appeal looking for information on the disappearance of a woman in May.
Lithuanian woman Giedre Raguckaite was last seen on Wednesday 29 May in the company of two men in Laytown, Co Meath.
Since then, she has not been in contact with anyone and was not reported missing officially until 22 August. Gardaí are treating the case as a murder investigation.
Giedre is described as:
When last seen she was wearing:
Crimestoppers and the gardaí are appealing for any members of the public, in particular members of the Lithuanian community, to come forward with any information relating to Giedre’s disappearance.
Detective inspector Martin Beggy of Dundalk Garda Station said today:
“We are very concerned about Giedre, she has been missing since 29 May of this year and she has not made contact with anyone.
“She was last seen with two males in Laytown, Co. Meath. This is now considered a murder investigation.
I would appeal to anyone who knows what happened to Giedre to come forward, do you know where she stayed since her last accommodation on 23 May, 2018?
Beggy said that Giedre’s family are living in Lithuania and are very anxious to know what happened to their daughter and their sister.
“Even the smallest piece of information, which may seem insignificant, might help with the investigation,” he said.
If a member of the public prefers to give the information without identifying themselves, they can call Crimestoppers on 1800 25 00 25.
Calls to Crimestoppers are completely anonymous and callers do not need to leave their name or address. Callers can claim a reward for information which significantly helps the investigation.
People can also contact Dundalk Garda Station on 042 938 8400, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any garda station.

They should just do what the French did and get the lads from Can’t Pay We’ll Take It Away to seize one on the runway till they pay up…
Ryanair will win this one.
@Micheal S. O’ Ceilleachair: hope not…
I’m affected by this – my flight was delayed by 4 hours and they fobbed off my claim saying it was because of an issue with air control but there was other flights taking off no problem (!) we got £5 voucher which didn’t work none of the vendors could accept it!
It’s a scam!
@Micheal S. O’ Ceilleachair: No Ryanair will pay & it will be quick & out of court, too much bad PR at the moment
@Micheal S. O’ Ceilleachair: my flight was delayed by 27 hours ryanair coughed up the 400 euros per passenger quickly enough. Bought been chasing for hotel and food which they now say they’ll pay 4 months later
In another few months EU rules will not apply anyway – which will be interesting. In the mean time other courts in the EU have ruled that strikes are exceptional circumstances – so why should the EU rule apply differently in the UK?
This is why I recommend buying holiday insurance and not to depend upon the airline.
Time was when anyone heading away had holiday insurance, it was usually embedded in a package, but these days some people have forgotten about the various elements of travel risk and insurance. Sure a 10 euro ticket and 40 euro insurance might not seem to make sense…. but then you run some risks with travel plans being disrupted.
Irrelevant. They are the biggest carrier in Europe and with that comes massive power . He made the smart move to soak up all 737 airplanes in U.S. after 9/11 and that massive order holds true today
Monopoly sucks but it’s business .
@Quentin Moriarty: Not so sure. These two have previous form against each other.
Of greater interest to Irish residents is the position being taken by the Irish aviation regulator. We all remember her absolute uselessness when Ryanair cancelled thousands of flights because it had to roster leave for its pilots. She came before an Oireachtas committee and smugly declared that she preferred to “work with” the airline when these sorts of problem arose. In the event, Irish travellers were able to rely on the far tougher (and legally accurate) stance of the UK regulator in getting compensated. (By the way, I presume this woman has resigned or has been sacked over her incompetence. I hardly expect she was able to keep her job after that debacle)
