The search for Robert Holohan, the 11-year-old boy missing in Co Cork, has been called off for the night.

More than 700 volunteers assisted gardaí on the fourth day of the search for Robert. 

Gardaí are now asking for information from anyone who was using the East Cork Golf Club or its driving range last Tuesday, which was the day of Robert's disappearance. 

The area of the search was also extended and is taking in Castlemartyr Woods. 

A garda sub-aqua team began trawling a nearby lake.

Earlier, gardaí said they have no evidence that he was abducted but that they are not ruling out the possibility.
