GARDAÍ in Finglas stepped up their appeal today for information on missing 44-year-old Karen Scott.

She is described as being approximately 5’ 4’’ tall and of medium build with blue eyes and short blonde hair. When last seen she was wearing white runners, a peach coloured hooded top and black jeans.

He added: “We are working closely with Karen’s family to try and locate her and would appeal to anybody who has any information, however small, to contact us.

“Due to Karen being missing for a number of days, we – and Karen’s family – are very concerned for her safety.

Anyone who has seen Karen or who can assist in locating her is asked to contact Finglas Garda Station on 01-6667500, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666111 or any Garda station.
