    Poor man. Saw posters today in many places from Smithfield to Howth. Very impressive that so much of the city is being notified about Tom by people who clearly care.

I don't know if there has been a development or not but if anyone can help can you post on the FB page Missing person Thomas Kennedy (apologies again for not being able to post link - computer broken). Thanks

    Was this poor man ever found?

    No he hasn't been found and I'm not even sure the taxi driver that came forward to say he had dropped him in Baldoyle was ever verified there have been no confirmed sightings since he went missing.

    It's just so hard to understand how he could have disappeared without trace.

    Somebody out there has to have some bit of Info and might not realise its significance?

    So sad, but at least the family can move the grieving process forward. R.I.P

    This is what has me wondering. Could he have maybe went into the water in Dublin and ended up in Blackpool? Who knows, anyway probably not right to speculate. R.i.p Thomas.

    I am very sad to hear that. I saw posters all around Dublin searching for him when I was there in December. I had hoped for a happy outcome.
