Someone who had shared this on FB received a comment from another person whose relative had Alzheimers. Seemingly affected people who go walkabout are often trying to return to a previous residence or neighbourhood. Was Peggy brought up near Finglas or did she live there for a while? That might help zero in on where she's likely to be.

Written on DID Electrical facebook page earlier -

she originally from Cork and has no contacts on the northside and no access to money, had nothing with her other than the dog

Really hope she's found, poor thing. Prayers are with her family..

Apparently her dog has been sighted around St. Michael's School in Finglas (close to the N2/Finglas Road). There's a cemetery in behind the school. I can't go out to search right now but hopefully there are people out.

Why would people report seeing her if they didn't know she was missing?

I don't just see a woman walking to the shops and call RTE telling them I've seen her, whoever she may be.

Unless the sightings were CCTV and not eyewitnesses.

I see someone who's missing....first thing I do is call the Gardai, tell them the situation and then keep an eye on the missing person until the police quietly arrive.

Because they didn't know she was missing at the time! People see photos and it jogs their memory. I see hundreds of people every day and quickly forget about most of them, but if I were to turn on the news and see one of them on there, I may well think 'oh, she looks just like the girl I saw on the train earlier'.

Autumn Moon · 27-09-2013 09:57AM

Can't see anything as yet. There is a volunteers search meeting in a few minutes (10.00) at D.I.D. Finglas. (Put up on Facebook)

gordongekko · 27-09-2013 01:38PM

Any update?

Autumn Moon · 27-09-2013 02:06PM

Still no sign..... Another search due to start shortly.

dubstarr · 27-09-2013 02:21PM

I seen a helicopter over Cabra going towards Finglas bout 12.30 today.It must have been looking for her.

I believe that there was a lot of Garda activity on the old N2 this morning. A friend of mine works in the Roadstone Quarry and there were a lot of squad cars a bit up the road with Gardaí searching the fields around there.

Is that the one in Kinsealy? I grew up beside it, it's a fairly built up area now and the quarry is pretty secure-the field opposite it is very flat and you'd spot someone wandering around in there. It's a busy enough area, so chances are she'd have been spotted.

Really hope the poor lady is found safe soon, it's an awful long time for someone in a frail condition to be away from home.

heretochat · 27-09-2013 03:06PM

Coldwinters is the name of the place he said. Just off the M50 and past Finglas heading out the old North Road..

He was saying some gangster was found shot dead not too far from there a couple of years ago as well.. Pretty bleak and desolate area some of it.

Fiolina · 27-09-2013 03:30PM

Just back from search at Tolka Valley. Nothing found as far as I know. Lots of people taking part. Don't know why the army/civil defense are not involved. D.I.D. Finglas are being great acting as a HQ. Anyone please with a bit of free time get out and search for this lady. You can turn up there at anytime or click on their FB page for details. Thanks

The poor woman.
She must be exhausted, cold and hungry and I would imagine a bit frightened(although I hope not).
Please let her be found well before another night settles in around her.

Also, good on all the folks searching for her

Fiolina · 27-09-2013 09:16PM

Search tonight concentrated on Charlestown and surrounding industrial estates. Nothing so far. Please people - get out and help in the search for Peggy tomorow. Time is of the essence now.

Autumn Moon · 27-09-2013 10:29PM

Anybody wanting to join the search - there is a meet up at 10.00am tomorrow D.I.D Finglas (Clearwater).

People ( especially in the Finglas, Glasnevin, Phibsboro, areas ) are asked to check any outhouses, sheds, laneways etc where Peggy may seek shelter.

28-09-2013 12:21AM

Still no news?

Can't help with search as I live in London, but thinking about Peggy and hoping she is safe!

hfallada · 28-09-2013 12:32AM

I know the Garda helicopter with the infrared red camera was over Glasnevin and Finglas looking for her.

AlanS181824 · 28-09-2013 12:45AM

Shao · 28-09-2013 01:18AM

Hi Rise To Me, any help is highly appreciated. See update below for yourself and anyone that can help with the search:

Thanks to everyone that has turned out this morning to join the search for Peggy. There have again been a number of reported sightings throughout the night mainly in the Finglas Area. Please keep sharing and looking for Peggy. Just to recap - Left Mount Tallant at 11am on Tuesday. Was seen at 12 in Clanbrassil Street and then at 3pm in Clarevillr Grove across from Glasnevin Cemetary. There was then a sighting across from the Topaz between Glasnevin and Finglas at 18:52. She has a Calvalier King CHarles Dog with her. Please be vigilant and say hello to Peggy if you see her and phone us immediately either on 016666400 or 080831030755 or 0857421495 or 0863791592. Again, she is wearing black bottoms and a white fleece top with a hood on it. The dogs name is Casper.

We are searching continuously and have not stopped since she went missing. At the moment, the base for all the teams that are out and about is in DID Electrical shop in Finglas, so doesn't matter if it is early, midday or this evening. Thanks.

I put the route she may have took onto google maps, it might be useful:

Is it a male dog ? A female in heat would be handy if so

Very odd, local word is that the dog was found

That's what I heard too and I believe the person I heard it from , I just don't want to speculate if it's something that could be a make or break in the search
