"Every day the family thinks of Bridget like you know and we just want to know where she is. She has four children, three girls and one boy. And she now has two grandchildren. A three-year-old and a one-year-old.

"She called to me the night before she went to England and that was the last time I seen her. We thought like at the start that she would be found. That's what we hoped, that she was gone on holiday or... but we know today that that's not the case.

"It's had a massive effect on our family. We're always wondering, always worrying. There is a family there that need peace of mind and rest from this. She's very much loved and missed by everyone."

Bridget was last seen in Clonmel, county Tipperary, on February 8, 2016.
