A major land, air and sea search is currently underway for a missing woman near Ballyshannon.
The woman, who is in her mid 30s, was reported missing last night in the Cashelard area.
The search began yesterday afternoon before light faded, with the Sligo-based Rescue 118 Coastguard helicopter sweeping the area until darkness.
Garda units also assisted and this morning there is a significant garda presence in the area.
Gardaí in Ballyshannon are appealing to the public to join them in their land search.
Anyone interested should come to the Breesy Centre in Cashelard.
