Fears are growing for a missing Irish tourist last seen at Alicante airport on Saturday two days before Spain’s historic blackout.
Barry Kelly was last seen wearing a denim jacket, white t-shirt and green combat trousers.
A spokesperson for the Department of Foreign Affairs said it is aware of reports and “stands ready to provide consular assistance”.
His sister Colette sent out an SOS alert on social media overnight. She wrote on an expat Irish Facebook group alongside photos of her brother sitting in the sun outside an ice cream parlour.
“My brother is missing, last seen in Alicante airport. He has no charge in his phone and very little, if any money. We are trying to get him home, but cannot contact him,” she said

“If anybody sees him, please let us know. He may be in a vulnerable place.
“We have had no contact since Saturday. Thank you all.”
It was not immediately clear where in Ireland Mr Kelly comes from or what age he is and whether he was trying to get back home when he vanished.
Colette said on Facebook that she is from Co Leitrim.
Police could not be reached early this morning for comment on Mr Kelly’s disappearance.
