37 year old man, Peter O'Loughlin, missing from Cork since July

Duffus

We are all worried sick about Peter. We haven't heard from him in over a month. Peter is approximately 5 foot 8 inches in height and of slim build. He has brown hair and green eyes. It's not known what Peter was wearing at the time he went missing.

Please if anyone has any information, contact Gurranabraher Garda Station on 021-4946200, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.

I hope he is found safe and sound soon.

Any idea at all where he might have gone ?

i hope he is found ASAP ,

Is there anything on social media that we can share to help find him ,

Swaine

Is this on Twitter? It's very good for getting the word out for missing people.

Hope he's found safe and well.

Are you a relation of Peters?

No idea where he may have gone. He didn't mention any plans.

Yes we have put the word out on Twitter and social media as well as traditional media outlets. I can't post links but do a Google search for "Peter O'Loughlin missing" and many articles and useful info from RTE and the newspapers will pop up.

Without going in too much detail, Peter was viciously attacked by Communist thugs back in 2019. The assault was even recorded by RTE cameras if you can believe it! Footage is freely available but again I cannot post links. This has us extra concerned. There have been groups of political activists openly threatening Peter for years and Gardai have offered no protection.

How do I sticky a post? I've seen other missing person's cases stickied for better visibility. Would be great to do the same for Peter. Thank you for the kind words all.

Only a mod can do that.

Can you explain why?

The Journal, Irish Mirror and Irish Examiner are all reporting it, along with the Garda Siochana.

I don't agree with Peter's politics but I find your testimony regarding him being threatened by antifa types credible. I'm a leftie but I myself was threatened by some of those types when I made a joking comment to one of them in a pub in town a few years' back.

I'm curious too. Current stickied threads include:

A suicide helpline thread from 2013

Ultimate Tournament (?) from 2020

Threads about people who died from a year ago.

The cynic in me wonders if the powers that be take issue with Peter's politics and therefore don't give a damn. But we will await their explanation...

TheRepentent

Why should it be stickied ?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119502235#Comment_119502235

To maximise awareness. It's standard. I don't like the guy's politics at all, but he's still a missing person with a family.

Sticky this thread for christ sake.

Dont like his politics either but ...he is a person

I hope he is found soon!

I think that too - in which case that's just awful. But there might be more to it, as per pm invitation.

You’re right, but the OP has made it political by posting in a political forum and dumping all the political stuff on it. The thread may result in people being indifferent to the search or worst. I think the thread should be deleted not pinned.

Is it the communists again?

Russia, possibly?

Thousands of people go missing every year for any number of reasons.

Is boards supposed to have a sticky for each person?

For all we know this guy might of had enough and is hiding away from people. The relevant department in Gardai are the expert in this area and should be able to help, I’m sure if they felt it was relevant they would contact boards direct

Hangdogroad

Is OP behind that "Kilkenny Journal" blog? Googling this chaps name and it came up. Very strange content mostly relating to POL.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119503938#Comment_119503938

No, just the ones that people highlight on Boards.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119503852#Comment_119503852

Yes, the political comments aren't appropriate. In my opinion the thread should be moved to a more general forum, like AH.

As I said, I am sure if the Gardai felt it would do some good they would contact boards directly

There’s good reason why these threads are stickied, and yours isn’t -

A suicide helpline thread from 2013

Threads about people who died from a year ago.

There’s no need to be cynical as previous missing persons threads were never stickied either, nothing to do with anyone’s personal politics or otherwise, no need for any conspiracy theory nonsense whatsoever.

It shouldn’t need be said that I hope he is found.

It doesnt help anything here at all to make this into a conspiracy about alleged political bias.

Best of luck in finding Peter. I hope he is found safe.

According to your logic, we will have to wait until Peter is found dead (god forbid) before he gets a stickied thread? You're a sick, sick pup. Delete your comment before any more of his friends or family see this.

The irony of someone with your avatar lecturing about political bias. In a thread about cornflakes you fly the flag for your chosen political tribe. Having a political opinion is not a substitute for a personality.
