New appeal one year on from Kyran Durnin disappearance

Gardaí (Irish police) have made an appeal for information about the disappearance and murder of Kyran Durnin as it approaches one year since he was first reported as missing.

The last known images of Kyran were taken in June 2022, when he was six-years-old.

He was reported missing from his home in Drogheda, County Louth, in the Republic of Ireland in August 2024.

Despite extensive and ongoing enquiries carried out by gardaí, they have been unable to locate Kyran or determine what has happened to him.

Gardaí said there have been in excess of 570 separate investigative actions taken, two arrests of a man and a woman on suspicion of murder, three domestic residences and adjoining lands searched, and more than 29,500 hours of CCTV reviewed.

They said they are "aware of the extensive public commentary on this investigation including speculation, rumours and theories on what may have happened to Kyran".

The Durnin family's previous contacts with Irish child protection services are now the subject of an independent national review.

Tuslathe, the Irish state agency responsible for child welfare and protection, has also said it it carrying out an internal review of its interactions with Kyran's family.
