Anyone responsible for failings in protecting 8-yr-old Kyran Durnin will be held to account, says McEntee




According to Justice Minister Helen McEntee, those who failed to safeguard Kyran Durnin will be held accountable, reports Breaking News.

Despite being reported missing from his home in August, the eight-year-old from Drogheda, County Louth, is thought to have been gone for almost two years, according to gardaí.

Investigators said they have no indication that he is still alive, thus they are conducting a murder inquiry.

According to Ms. McEntee, accountability will also be in place if the state has any shortcomings.

“If any State agency here has not done their job properly, if any individual has not done their job properly, I would expect they would help accountable. I absolutely stand by that: a child is missing presumed dead. We do not have the full facts as to what has happened here, so I would plead with anyone who has any information to bring them forward to the gardaí,” reports Breaking News.

Kyran Durnin, who was reported missing by his family on August 30th, had not been seen for some months, and potentially more than two years, according to Drogheda detectives.

Even though no remains were found or a crime scene was located, the case itself was elevated from a missing person case to a murder investigation on Wednesday, reports Breaking News.

Additionally, the Gardaí have stated that Tusla is completely participating with the inquiry and collaborating with authorities.

“Despite extensive enquiries carried out by Gardaí to date, An Garda Síochána have been unable to locate Kyran, identify any information on his current whereabouts, or any evidence that he is currently alive,” stated a statement released by the Gardaí earlier this week, reports Breaking News.
