Both these organisations played a significant role in the search for Mr Gaine after he was first reported missing on March 21. The family thanked the public for their "support and understanding at this extremely difficult time". An extensive search for the Kerry farmer took place over eight weeks.

Specialised garda units and the Defence Forces have spent the past two weeks on the farm just outside Kenmare searching for evidence in the ongoing murder investigation. A man was arrested and later released without charge in the case.
