An SOS has been issued to help find an assistance dog which has gone missing from his home in Castleconnell, County Limerick. “One of our dogs, Toby who lives with a family as an assistance dog for their teenage son, went missing last night, Monday from their home in Castleconnell. Toby did not have his collar on as it was being washed at the time,” explained John Lenihan of Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland. “He appears to have vanished of the face of the earth and as you can imagine the family are distressed at the loss. Toby is not just a pet but a lifeline to his best buddy, Peter who needs Toby back ASAP,” John added. Since then, Toby was reunited with his owners after he was found on the side of the road at Castleconnell. Anybody who can help reunite Toby with Peter should Tel: 022 43851, Mobile; 0864112123 or email; john@aadi.ie.

IN an intelligence-led operation in Limerick, officers from Revenue’s Customs Service, assisted by gardaí, earlier today seized 100,000 cigarettes with a retail value of €47,000 and a potential loss to the Exchequer of €37,000. The “Jing Ling” and “Golden Seagiies” cigarettes were discovered in unmarked brown boxes when a Ford Transit van was stopped on the Limerick/Tipperary border near Castleconnell. The van was also seized. The male driver, a non-Irish national in his 30s, was arrested and taken for questioning at Nenagh Garda Station.   I
