Speaking at Donabate Strand, Ms Connolly’s daughter Jade Connolly said: “We are here today to appeal to the public and any local people that were on the beach on the day my mam went missing.
“Nollaig na mBan was the 6th of January, also known as Women’s Christmas, and my mam went missing that next day.
“I want to get people to think of that significant day. This beach was active that day. People walked by my mam with dogs, people walked before my mam.
“I would appeal to anyone who maybe has photographs of the beach that day or any dashcam footage or maybe even CCTV, if they were in a house nearby.”
Gardaí are renewing their appeal to the public for assistance in tracing the whereabouts of 45 year old Bernadette Connolly, who is missing from Swords, Co. Dublin since Friday, 7th January, 2022.
