Gardaí appealed today for members of the Romanian community to help trace a missing 12-year-old Roma “child bride”.

GARDAÍ will travel to Romania within the next few weeks in a bid to close the file on a child bride whose disappearance sparked a major missing persons alert.

Gardaí in Dublin have appealed for the public’s help in tracing the whereabouts of a 12-year-old Romanian girl missing since Saturday.
