Here is a personal appeal from Bob and Nancy Shannahan, Gussie's parents,

"I can't grieve. I can't move on. My life has been a daily torment for the past ten years," she said.

"After ten years of not knowing I am sure I could say 'I forgive you' to someone who may have harmed my son. Just please tell me where he is. Tell me what happened to him."

His father said the mental anguish of not knowing is most painful. "I've always had an open mind on the whole thing, and we've never had any clue since the last time he was seen down that lane," he told the Limerick Leader.

"My mind was open to everything, my view always was that I mightn't like it but at least I can manage it. Not knowing – it's very hard to manage it."

There have been rumours about Gussie's disappearance over the years but nothing precise, nothing definite. "We are not interested in rumours, we are looking for positive information," Bob said.

"Somebody knows and they might have been frightened to come forward in the past but any information that will come will be treated in the strictest of confidence.

"There's the telephone, the email and the PO Box, and they are all independent of the police," Bob said.
