THE FAMILY of an Irishman who has been missing for 30 years is appealing to the Irish in Britain to help in their search.
Anthony (Tony) Conroy was born on 18 April 1959 in Mountmellick, Co Laois.
He was educated at St. Mary's College in Mountmellick, from 1972 to 1977.
A talented middle and long distance runner, Conroy won many titles in Ireland before getting an athletic scholarship hip to Arkansas Universiry.
He travelled to the States to take up his scholarship, but returned to Portlaoise in Ireland around 1985 or 1986.
He left Ireland again in 1986 and never returned. His family have not had contact with him in 30 years and they are desperate to find him.
The family have set up a 'Finding Tony' Facebook Page and are asking the Irish in Britain to come forward if they have information about Tony after 1986.
