A major house search for a missing Irish woman has ended.

Elizabeth Clarke from Navan in County Meath has not been seen since 2013 when she was 24.

The mother-of-two was officially reported missing by her family in January 2015.

Gardaí (Irish police) investigating the disappearance of Ms Clarke began searching a house in County Meath on Friday after announcing they had reclassified her disappearance from a missing persons case to a murder inquiry.
