THE FAMILY OF A MAYO MAN, WHO WENT MISSING IN THE NETHERLANDS THREE YEARS AGO, WANT THE DUTCH COURTS TO FORCE A FULL POLICE INVESTIGATION INTO HIS DISAPPEARANCE.

24-YEAR OLD J.P. GREALIS FROM ACHILL ISLAND VANISHED WITHOUT TRACE AFTER LEAVING A GUESTHOUSE TO LOOK FOR WORK IN OCTOBER 2008.

HE WAS WORKING AS A CARPENTER ON BUILDING PROJECTS AND INTENDING TO FOLLOW UP SOME 'JOB LEADS'.

IN THE YEARS SINCE HIS DISAPPEARANCE, THE GREALIS FAMILY HAVE MADE NUMEROUS TRIPS TO HOLLAND IN THEIR SEARCH, TALKING TO FORMER WORKMATES AND THOSE WHO MET MR GREALIS IN LOCAL PUBS, PUTTING UP POSTERS AND COMBING THE COUNTRY FOR CLUES.

THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AT TONRAGEE, ACHILL ISLAND, RAISED €20,000 TO MAINTAIN THE HUNT FOR MR GREALIS.

TODAY, JP’S OLDER SISTER HELEN GREALIS IS DUE TO ARRIVE IN THE NETHERLANDS, WHERE SHE WILL BE JOINED BY A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE 'SEARCHING FOR THE MISSING' ORGANISATION.

DURING THEIR FIVE-DAY STAY THEY WILL PUT UP THOUSANDS MORE POSTERS IN THEIR ONGOING CAMPAIGN TO FIND OUT WHY JP DISAPPEARED.
