Missing Dean Patton's Family Describe Concern
The parents of a Portrush man who has been missing for three weeks said their son has mental health problems and does not have access to his medication.
Dean Patton, 24, was last seen in Portrush at 1pm on Tuesday July 24.
He had just moved to supported living accommodation and, his mother Linda said, was happy with his new independence.
Police and volunteers have been searching for Dean, who is described as being about 6ft tall and tanned with dark hair.
When last seen, he was wearing a black T-shirt and blue jeans.
House Prices 'Will Continue To Fall'
Northern Ireland is the most likely part of the UK to see property prices fall further, experts have claimed.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors found that 68% of surveyors recorded reducing prices here in recent months.
The body's housing spokesman Tom McClelland said the current low level of prices was last seen more than a decade ago, well before the recession hit.
The average price reduction since the 2007 peak is between 50% and 60%.
