speak to us New CCTV images of missing woman Bernadette Connolly released as gardai renew appeal

New pictures of Bernadette Connolly have been released as gardai renewed an appeal to help find the missing Dublin woman. 

The 45-year-old, from Swords, has not been seen since Friday, January 7.

Bernadette was last seen when she was dropped by taxi at the carpark of the Shoreline Hotel in Donabate and walking towards the entrance to Donabate Beach.

In a new appeal for information, gardai released CCTV images that appear to show Bernadette walking towards the strand from the hotel.

Bernadette is described as being 5 foot 6 inches in height with a slim build, hazel eyes and long black hair.

Gardaí say they are satisfied that at the time she went missing, Bernadette was wearing a black Nike training top, black Nike leggings, black trainers with a white sole and a black woolly hat with black bobble.

They added that they now believe that Bernadette is no longer in possession of a black bubble jacket or a black handbag.

As part of the new appeal, gardaí and a spokesperson for Bernadette’s family will be at the entrance to Donabate Strand this morning, at 11.30am, where they will speak to media.

“Gardaí continue to appeal to anyone with any information on Bernadette’s whereabouts to speak in person with us today,” gardai said. “Alternatively contact Swords Garda Station 01 666 4700, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.”
