Gardaí have travelled to Iceland as part of an investigation into the disappearance of Icelandic man Jón Jónsson in Dublin over six years ago.
Investigating detectives made a fresh appeal for information about the disappearance of the 41-year-old, who was in Ireland to attend the Dublin Poker Festival.
Mr Jónsson, a father of four, vanished after leaving the Bonnington Hotel on Swords Road in north Dublin on 9 February 2019.
Five gardaí from Ballymun station will spend the week in Iceland interviewing 45 Icelandic citizens.
Detective Superintendent Alan Brady said they are there for a number of purposes.
"We came here to interview a large number of people who we think may have some information in relation to where Jón is," Det Supt Brady said.
"We've also come here to appeal to the Icelandic public for help in finding Jón. We believe that whatever happened to Jón did happen to him in Dublin, but the answers to what happened to Jón may lie here amongst the Icelandic community."
Speaking to Icelandic media, Det Supt Brady said that gardaí are trying to do everything they can to progress the investigation.
"Jón's family have been going through heartbreak for the last six and a half years. We're here to try and find answers for them. No family should have to ensure that they've gone through," he added.
The investigation into his disappearance has stepped up in recent months.
Several fresh searches were carried out with the help of cadaver dogs after gardai received new information following the airing of an RTÉ documentary podcast series 'Where is Jón'.
