A special evening of prayers will be held tomorrow evening for missing woman Bernadette Connolly who has not been seen for two weeks.

Bernadette, 45, from Swords in north county Dublin, went missing 13 days ago today and was last seen on Donabate beach at around 12.30pm on Friday, January 7.

Her heartbroken daughter Jade, who has been searching extensively for her mum, informed her followers on social media that the taxi driver who dropped her mam to Donabate made contact following an appeal.
