The film producer Robert Walpole (34), who was reported missing last week, has been located in France. A Garda spokesman said that they no longer considered him missing. Mr Walpole has been staying in a hotel near the Spanish border.
Concern grew last week when Mr Walpole, of South Dock Street, Ringsend, Dublin, failed to keep appointments and to board a flight to London on Friday morning to attend a business meeting. He was reported missing on Friday evening.
