Search Continues for Missing Boy Kyran Durnin

The search for missing eight-year-old Kyran Durnin, who has not been seen since May 2022, has intensified as gardaí have launched a murder investigation following the recent discovery of his mother's whereabouts. Excavations at the former family home on Emer Terrace in Dundalk are ongoing, with efforts focusing on the house, garden, and surrounding wasteland. Chief Superintendent Alan McGovern emphasized that the purpose of these searches is to uncover any evidence related to Kyran’s disappearance, which is now treated as a presumed murder case. Taoiseach Simon Harris expressed the profound sadness surrounding Kyran's prolonged absence, highlighting the societal implications of a child missing for two years without significant public concern. The investigation continues without any evidence suggesting Kyran is alive, and local authorities are appealing for any information that may assist in the case.
