He was wearing shorts with a dark layer on top and was also carrying a large rucksack at the time.

Extensive ground and air searches have been taking place over the past few days, but the man has yet to be located.

Kerry Mountain Rescue is again appealing to anyone with any information to get in touch; the team says any information now matter how small will help the teams coordinate and focus their searches over the coming days, particularly if the man was seen on another part of Mount Brandon after 3.30pm Sunday.

Weather conditions and visibility have deteriorated in the last 36 hours, making the search conditions difficult.
