The army has been drafted in to assist in the search for missing city resident David Gilligan.

The search operation for the 30 year old Roscommon native is ongoing for a week now.

David was last seen walking towards Dangan Heights on Tuesday May 22nd and after completing a sweep of the river, the focus will now be on the ongoing land search.

30 members of the army will join efforts today and provide specialist help in the ground search of the greater Dangan area.

They'll also be assisting in the co-ordination of a team of up to 100 volunteers from both Galway and Roscommon.
