A poster campaign is to begin in Irish prisons, to get information about a man who went missing in Dublin 19 years ago.

Trevor Deely was last seen on Haddington Road on December 8th 2000.

Posters are to be displayed at jails from this week according to the Irish Independent.

It's believed to be the first time an appeal is being made directly to inmates to solve a missing persons case.

The bank worker was 22 when he went missing after his Christmas party in Dublin in 2000. He was last spotted on CCTV on the Haddington Road in the early hours of December 8th.

Despite numerous appeals, a €100,000 euro reward, and a search of land in Chapelizod in 2017, the Kildare man's disappearance remains a mystery.

CCTV footage on the night showed a man dressed in black speaking to Trevor but he has never come forward.

The posters will be displayed in areas where prisoners make phone calls along with visitor areas.

Appeal

Earlier this month it was announced that pictures of missing people, including Trevor Deeley, would appear on Deliveroo backpacks in Dublin and Cork.

It's part of the food delivery service's 'Bring Them Home' campaign to mark National Missing Persons Day.

100 Deliveroo riders are carrying mobile billboards with images of missing people and the helpline contact details on their backpacks during December.

A similar campaign in the UK has helped to find four missing people.
