Gardaí have renewed their missing person appeal for a 16-year-old boy who went missing from Co. Kildare.

Gardaí are seeking the public's assistance in tracing the whereabouts of Briain Holmes who is missing from Kildare town.

The teenager was last seen in the County Clare area on the afternoon of Thursday May 11, 2023.
