A woman has been arrested today on suspicion of the murder of eight-year-old Kyran Durnin, who has been missing for two years.
The woman is being detained under Section 4 Criminal Justice Act 1984 at a Garda Station in the East of the country.
Gardaí continue to appeal to any person with any information on the disappearance and murder of the Louth boy.
Kyran was officially reported missing from his home in Drogheda, Co Louth, in late August, alongside his mother, Dayla Durnin. Dayla Durnin was located in the UK without her son a short time later.
Investigators believe that Kyran may have been killed sometime in 2022, when he was six years old.
His disappearance has raised serious questions over why Kyran had not been on the radar of state agencies for a two-year period.
