Missing Persons Day, hosted by the Irish Department of Justice, is an annual commemorative day for families and friends to remember their missing loved ones. Missing Persons Day also provides a nationwide platform to appeal to the public for information on missing persons. Radio Espial's Brian Goggin reports on his experience of this year's event at Croke Park, Dublin.    

Mark Duffy, aged 43, went missing from his home in Navan, County Meath, Ireland on October 3rd, 2022. That morning, he left his home to collect a social welfare payment at a local post office in the Johnstown Shopping Centre. He was picked up on CCTV footage shortly before 11 am at the post office and later that day at a Centra supermarket on the Commons Road just before 3 pm and appeared to be crossing a road and heading back in the direction of Parnell Park where he lived. Mark never arrived back home that day. He was due to start a new job as a construction site foreman. He was formally reported missing without contact with his family on the 13th of October, 2022. What really happened Mark Duffy that October day?
