As light fades from 2023 and breaks into another orbit of the sun - many of us begin 2024, full of hope for what the next year will bring.

For Gerry Keenan and his family, it's the start of another year, and with each day that passes - the gaping hole in their hearts grows bigger.

Imelda Keenan went missing on Monday, January 3rd, 1994 after leaving her apartment in the William Street area of Waterford.

She left at 1:30 pm, and the last positive sighting was of Imelda crossing the road by the Tower Hotel on the corner of Lombard Street.

Gone without a trace, never to be seen again - today marks 30 years since the disappearance of Imelda Keenan.

Gerry Keenan has been speaking to Jordan Norris - on what is another profoundly difficult day.
