The search has been hampered by difficult weather conditions overnight

The experienced hill walker was talking to his wife while walking in the Black Road area of Galtymore located on the Tipperary and Limerick border

The last contact with him was at about 4pm yesterday just before his phone battery died.

Valentia Coastguard said they are unable to use its search and rescue helicopter last night due to foggy weather conditions.

The search this morning is being aided by 2 dog teams from the Search and Rescue group as well as ground teams.

It is understood the man failed to turn up at his car, parked nearby.

The hill walker had told his wife his phone battery was running low before the call ended.
