The car was pulled over last weekend by Roscommon Roads Policing Unit.

The incident is believed to have occurred at approximately 7:40 am on Sunday.

155 people have died in road collisions - up 36 on the same time last year.

When last seen, Melissa was wearing a grey jumper, a green sleeveless jacket and black runners.

Local Gardaí from the Roscommon/Longford Drugs Unit along with the Garda Canine Unit and armed Support Unit conducted the search yesterday afternoon.

The Fianna Fail Councillor says he will be examining his position on the LCSP committee if adequate resources are not allocated.

The new system is designed to enhance Gardaí responses to ensure that the public receive the best possible response.

The majority of those attested today will be stationed in Dublin with the smallest number going to the North-West.
