POLICE in Northern Ireland and the family of two missing Irish women are becoming increasingly concerned for their welfare.
Their concern has grown especially as there has been no contact with family over the Christmas period from Saoirse Smyth, 28, and Joanne Phelan, 47, police said.
Saoirse, who is described as being 4’11” tall, slim build, with red hair and blue eyes and last seen in the Belfast area in May 2017.
Joanne, who is described as being 5’5” tall, slight built, with brown shoulder length hair and hazel eyes and last seen in the Newry area in February 2017.
Detective Inspector Paul Rowland said: “It is believed that Saoirse and Joanne may be together and we are appealing to Saoirse and Joanne, or anyone who knows of their whereabouts to contact Police on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference 833 19/12/17.”
