Gardaí wish to renew their appeal to the public in tracing the whereabouts of missing person Aengus Shanahan who is missing from Limerick since 11th February 2000. The 17th anniversary Aengus’ disappearance will fall on Saturday 11th February 2017.
Aengus, better known as ‘Gussie’ is the youngest in a family of four and lived with his parents Bob and Nancy (recently deceased), at Ashbrook, Ennis road, Limerick. He was an employee of Dell, Castletroy, Limerick and finished work on Friday afternoon 11th February 2000. Family or friends had not seen or heard from him over that weekend and concern grew regarding his whereabouts. When he did not return to work on Monday the 14th February 2000 his family reported him as a missing person to An Garda Síochána.
Gussie went to Coopers bar in St Joseph Street, Limerick with friends on that Friday afternoon. He was due to stay that night with friends in Saint Joseph Street but did not do so. It has been established that he left the bar on his own at 10.30pm and walked from there onto Old School House Lane, which connects with Barrington Street. That is the last sighting of Gussie. Description: Height – 5ft 10ins, Build – thin, Weight – 10 stone, Complexion – pale, Hair– fair hair cut short. Aengus’ 37th birthday was on 23rd January 2017. Following the passing of Aengus’ mother Nancy the past few months have been extremely difficult for the Shanahan family. Aengus' family and Gardaí are appealing for anyone who may have seen Gussie or have useful information and who have not been in contact previously, to do so now.
Gardaí are also appealing to anyone who may have seen Gussie on this Friday night or early the following morning to come forward, especially Taxi Drivers in the Limerick area. Anyone with information is asked to contact Roxboro Road Garda Station on 061 214340, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station. Photographs/CCTV Stills of Aengus is available on request via email from the Garda Press Office.
