Thanks for this whoops, fingers crossed he is found alive and well.

RossFixxxed · 10-01-2013 8:41am

I hope he is found well.

I'm noticing a serious trend in the missing persons pictures in Dublin. Men in their 20's, fair brown/red hair, blue eyes. Quite a few times now. Has anyone else seen this?

You're describing the majority of Irish men in their twenties there? Not sure what you're getting at tbh.

Hope he's found safe and well.

I guess you're right in that regard. Though most I know are brown eyed etc, but yeah it's pretty vague. I just thought a lot of the men on the missing photos looked similar to each other, in some cases very similar. Like there is a predator out there with a type. Nobody with brown/green/grey eyes or black hair, dark brown hair etc. Nearly always ginger or very light brown.

I'm probably being stupid and alarmist, but I've been noticing it for a fair while now. That said, I don't know how many were found or what happened to them.

Obviously I'm hoping I'm being stupid, and that he is found well and safe.

If anything in this post is inappropriate just let me know and I'll tear them down.

Where's South Beach?

brownacid · 11-01-2013 1:44am

South beach is the beach down past St. Joseph's school in Rush

Charlie52637 · 11-01-2013 2:35pm

Brownacid has it right

'South beach is the beach down past St. Joseph's school in Rush'

Please if you are free come down and give us a help in finding him and ask others to come to, thank you

asherbassad · 11-01-2013 4:09pm

I'm sure these avenues have been pursued by I'd like to ask anyway:

Is his passport still at home?
Any mobile phone activity?
Any ATM/bank account activity?

Can anybody access his email account(s)?

Charlie52637 · 11-01-2013 5:39pm

Paul's phone has been dead since late Christmas day, and I'm guessing the passport would of been one of the first things the guards checked and as for the bank would the guards not check that aswell?

Dude111 · 16-01-2013 12:20am

Im praying that Mr. Byrne is found safe and well!!!!!

Peace and love to everyone looking for him!!!

Really hope you find him soon,must be so hard,thoughts are with you all x

Brendan Flowers · 24-01-2013 12:04pm

Just a suggestion but would it help to un-sticky this thread? I know I rarely look at the stickied threads and normally just scroll down past them.

Logical_Bear · 24-01-2013 12:26pm

it would dissappear off the front page considering the amount of traffic AH gets

Dude111 · 25-01-2013 6:49am

It would help to make threads like this BOLD (Or in a different colour round it) -- They do this on another VBB site im on for some threads and they really stick out well....

Here is one such thread

Notice the sticky @ the top in a different colour!!

girl2 · 28-01-2013 12:52am

The news about Paul is going to be on Crimecall this week. This should hopefully bring some publicity about Paul's disappearance and maybe the family can finally get some answers.

I really hope Paul's family are bearing up ok. So so sad for everyone involved.

Dude111 · 31-01-2013 6:36am

I hope it isnt anything bad,poor paul

Sunnyisland · 13-02-2013 7:27am

Anymore news on Paul byrne ?

hames · 14-02-2013 3:41am

hmm, I wouldn;t have heard if this if it weren't for this thread.

understandable from a busy Garda viewpoint, perhaps, but lack of coverage must be highly frustrating for the family.

Hope he is found alright.

Sad news if it is indeed Paul, as is believed.

Only positive being that it is good for the family to get some closure.

Ah no.

Awful news, while good for his family to get some closure, what awful closure it will be if indeed it is him. I can't remember the last missing person sticky (that's an awful way to put it) on here that didn't end in tragedy.

Whatever the cause, it's a dreadful loss for his family, and very sad to see yet another young life lost in this country.

I hope his family get all the support they need now and in the funeral, if it is Paul, (unlikely it's not given it's reported as it is)

May he rest in peace
