The head of An Garda Síochána, Commissioner Drew Harris, expressed that he has never encountered a case like that of missing schoolchild Kyran Durnin, who is now presumed dead. A murder investigation is underway after Kyran was reported missing at the end of August. The police have conducted searches at a property in Dundalk, where the family lived. Kyran's mother, Dayla Durnin, has been located. The investigation has raised concerns about child protection services and how a child could go missing for two years, prompting reviews by Tusla and calls for accountability from officials.
