Gardaí are to issue a renewed appeal for information to mark the sixth anniversary of the disappearance of Tina Satchwell.
The 47-year-old went missing from her home in Youghal in east Cork on March 20, 2017.
No trace of her has been found despite a six-year Garda operation which included an exhaustive trawl of CCTV footage from Irish ports and airports.

Despite a massive investigation which included hundreds of lines of inquiry, CCTV footage and nearly 200 statements, her sudden vanishing remains a mystery.
Tina was last seen by her husband, Richard Satchwell, when she asked him to leave their home to go on an errand.
When he returned several hours later she was not at home and he presumed she had gone to stay with her family in Fermoy in north Cork.
Four days later, when she had not returned, Richard reported her missing.
In a previous interview marking the fifth anniversary of her disappearance, Richard pleaded for her to get in touch so that they can “talk things through”.
He said: “All I would say at this time is for anyone with any news to contact someone, anyone.” He then addressed Tina directly, calling on her to come forward and explain why she disappeared – even just to sit down with him and explain.
He added: “Get in touch, because at this point in time I only have one big question, which is why?”
Speaking in 2018, Richard described the last moments he spent with Tina, and how when he returned home, she had apparently vanished.
He said “She came down the stairs. I gave her a cup of tea and a slice of toast.
“Then she asked if I’d go over to Dungarvan. I gave her a peck, and said I’d see her in a couple of hours.”
In a number of television interviews over the years Richard repeatedly denied that he would do anything to his wife and stated he believed she may well be alive.
