A missing 15 year old girl was located last night after a search in the Gaoth Dobhair area.
The teenager had been reported missing just after 11pm and a massive search was launched.
The Gardai and the Donegal Mountain Rescue Team were alerted to the incident and made their way to Gaoth Dobhair.
Members of the Leitrim and Sligo Mountain Rescue teams were also put on standby but were not dispatched.
A request for assistance was also made to the S61 search helicopter to be dispatched from Sligo.
However the chopper could not be scrambled due to heavy fog.
Gardai became more concerned when the girl could not be located for a number of hours as freezing fog set in.
Shortly before 2.30am the missing girl was located safe and well and the alert was called off.
Gardai say the girl was unharmed and thanked everyone for their assistance.
