No information to be released that could potentially interfere with ongoing Garda investigation, confirms Minister
O’Gorman says he will ‘act immediately’ on findings of Tusla review into Kyran Durnin casebelieve Kyran, who would be aged eight years if still alive, is deceased and that he may have died over two years ago. Though he was initially treated as a missing person gardaí have found no evidence he is still alive, and have since upgrade their inquiries to a murder investigation.“I can assure you that that investigation is very active. We’re pursuing all the lines of inquiry that we have.
Gardaí sought the help of the police in Suffolk in a bid to find Ms Durnin. Once she was located two weeks ago the missing persons inquiry for the mother and child was stood down. At the same time gardaí upgraded their investigation into what had happened to Kyran to a murder investigation. Gardaí were looking for any evidence about Kyran’s movements over the last two years during the Dundalk search as the Durnin family had lived at the property until last May. The back garden, along with a nearby patch of ground, was excavated but nothing was found.
