Gardai say that they’re going to continue their search in Dundalk this morning for missing 8-yr-old Kyran Durnin.
An piece of wasteland next to Kyran Durnin’s former family home in Dundalk, County Louth, has been the site of a dig by the GardaÃ, reports RTE.
The eight-year-old student is thought to be dead and missing. According to GardaÃ, he may have been murdered as recently as two years ago.
Additionally, a thorough search is still underway at the former Durnin family residence on Emer Terrace in Dundalk.
Since early this morning, a sizable contingent of Garda forensic specialists and Garda Technical Bureau personnel have been present at the scene, reports RTE.
A larger digger was left behind after a little mini-digger was removed from the area earlier.
It is known that a portion of the wasteland on Emer Terrace behind the property is being searched using this digger.
Gardaà have emphasised once more that the current occupants of the home had nothing to do with Kyran or his abduction.
There are presently no indications that this search operation will end today, according to the GardaÃ, reports RTE.
The minister asks for the Tusla report.
Norma Foley, the minister of education, has stated that she has asked Tusla for a report on Kyran’s situation.
According to the GardaÃ, the last records they have of him are to his attendance at a Dundalk primary school at the conclusion of the 2021–2022 academic year.
Speaking this afternoon in Drogheda, Minister Foley stated that it is critical to determine the case’s whole facts.
She said: “I have requested a report from Tusla in relation to what exactly has happened here, but there is a garda investigation underway and it’s important that be allowed to proceed. The most important thing here is that find out what did happen, how it happened, why it happened. And at the center of this, obviously, is Kyran and for all of us our our ambition in life is that every child would have a happy and safe experience of life. So we need very much so to find out with urgency what has happened here,” reports RTE.
“I think across the entire country, we are shell-shocked to learn that a child would be missing for so long and that it would be unnoticed that a child, I think, as the Taoiseach himself has said that a child has been missing for so long. So it is really, really important that we do find out the facts, that we do get the information, and that the investigation by An Garda SÃochána is allowed to continue, and that we do get witness to all of the facts in relation to the story,” reports RTE.
