Fears grow for safety of missing schoolboy Robert

FEARS increased for the safety of missing schoolboy Robert Holohan last night after intensive searches by more than 70 gardaí and 1,200 volunteers failed to turn up any trace.

Senior gardaí have refused to comment on speculation that the boy, 11, from Midleton, Co Cork, may have been abducted.

His mother, Majella, said: “We want him home, at home with us. We don’t care what’s after happening, whoever has him, please let him go and send him home to me tonight.
