THE family of a young man who disappeared after a night out with friends are praying that a car found in a harbour will help solve the 17-year mystery surrounding his disappearance.
Crosshaven native Barry Coughlan, 23, was drinking with pals in the former Moonduster pub in his Co Cork hometown before leaving in the early hours of May 1, 2004 and has never been seen since.

LIMERICK Against Pollution has raised concerns over what might be lurking at the bottom of the lake in Ballyneety quarry.
They suggest “dumped asbestos” or “maybe a burial place for missing persons”. The environmental conservation organisation has also expressed fears “about pollution of the food chain and contamination of the water supply”.
Claire Keating, on behalf of Limerick Against Pollution (LAP), has made a formal complaint to Limerick City and County Council. It follows an investigation in the Irish Examiner last month by Michael Clifford.
The subject line of LAP’s email of complaint is “Alleged case of abandoned quarry that, officially, is not abandoned”. This is because a condition of planning permission at the Roadstone- owned quarry was that the area be restored once operations cease.

The bodies of Willie and Paddy Hennessy were found by Paddy’s daughter Elaine and her mum Stephanie on Thursday night, after they called to the isolated farm at Carraghgorm, not far from Mitchelstown, Co Cork.
