Renewed appeal for former Laois resident Luke Price

A renewed appeal has been launched for a former Laois resident who went missing a year ago today. 

Gardaí in Limerick are renewing their appeal to the public for assistance in tracing the whereabouts of Luke Price who was reported missing from his home in Mountkennet, Limerick city on this day last year, Tuesday, January 14, 2025.

Luke, who was 27-years-old at the time was seen at around 9pm on Tuesday, January 14, 2025.

He is originally from Geashill in Co Offaly and had been living in the Ballyfin area near Portlaoise to the end of 2024. He was last seen in Limerick in January of 2025. 

He is described as being approximately 6 feet in height with a slim build, auburn hair and blue eyes.

When last seen, Luke was wearing a black coat, blue jeans and black boots.

Gardaí and Luke's family are concerned for his wellbeing.

In an online post last year, Luke's mother Pauline Price said: "Luke is well known in scouting communities in Portlaoise, Tullamore, Clara, Mountmellick and Edenderry. He's a chef. He's himself, a lovely, kind and resourceful young man when he's well. He has survival skills but didn't go prepared, as far as we know. Please help us find him."

There have been a number of reported sightings by members of the public across different locations, however none of these have been confirmed to be Luke.
