The Waterford based Coast Guard helicopter is taking part in the search for a man missing from the City.
70 year old Christy O'Sullivan from Earlscourt was last seen in the Ardkeen Stores around at 10.30 yesterday morning.
He has Parkinson's disease and his family are concerned that he may be disorientated.
Mr O'Sullivan was wearing a blue shirt, light coloured chinos and a navy bomber jacket.
Rescue 117 is searching both the Waterford City and Tramore areas this afternoon.
Gardai are also carrying out enquiries and examining CCTV footage. They're appealing for the public's help in tracing Mr O'Sullivan. Anyone with information is asked to contact Waterford Garda Station on 051 305300.
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our great friend and neighbour Christy O'Sullivan from Oakley...
