16-year-old Darnel Hayes had been missing from his home in Cork since Wednesday last. He was last seen at approximately 5pm on Wednesday at Merchants Quay in Cork city.
The Liberal received a report that the boy had been found, but we awaited gardai confirmation – they have confirmed late last night that the missing teenager has thankfully turned up safe and well.
They thanked the public for sharing the teenager’s photo on Facebook and twitter.
