Gardai seal off wooded area at Dublin park in search for missing Icelandic man

Gardai have sealed off a wooded area at a public park in Dublin as part of their search for a missing Icelandic man.

Jon Jonsson, who was visiting Ireland for a poker tournament, left the Bonnington Hotel on the Swords Road on February 9, 2019.

In recent days, gardai have carried out a search of Santry Demense with the help of the underwater unit and a search dog.

A full examination of the site will be carried out after the dog alerted gardai to a particular area.

The area has been sealed off to allow gardai to carry out a full examination.

In a statement, a spokesman for An Garda Siochana said: “Operational searches remain ongoing, no further information is available at this time.”
