Eight-year-old Kyran Durnin
Gardai investigating the disappearance of Kyran Durnin have started a search of a house on Emer Terrrace in Dundalk.
The house is known to have been Kyran’s family home for a period of years up to May 2024.
Chief Superintendent Alan McGovern said in a statement: "Last Wednesday, 16th October 2024 An Garda Síochána issued a public appeal for information on the disappearance of Kyran Durnin, who would now be eight years old and is missing, presumed dead.
“Yesterday, Monday 21st October 2024, acting under a Search Warrant, Gardaí investigating the disappearance of Kyran Durnin took possession of a private house on Emer Terrace, Dundalk.
“Commencing today, that house will be searched and be subject of technical and forensic examinations, as will the garden and adjoining open ground to that house.
“The purpose of these searches are to discover any evidence which might provide us with information as to Kyran’s current whereabouts or what has happened to Kyran.
“The house is known to have been Kyran’s family home for a period of years up to May 2024.
“I must emphasise that the current tenants of this house are not connected in anyway with Kyran or his disappearance.”
Any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, will be welcomed by the investigation team. This information will be treated in the strictest confidence.
