Amy’s family ask Cowen to pressure Spanish PM

THE heartbroken family of missing Irish teenager Amy Fitzpatrick have urged the Taoiseach to put pressure on Spain’s prime minister to step up the search for the Dublin girl.

There have been sightings of the teenager as far away as Morocco and Mexico, but her devastated mother Audrey has still not spoken to her daughter since she disappeared on New Year’s Day.

Ms Fitzpatrick met Brian Cowen yesterday in a further bid to use every resource from police to diplomats to try and locate her daughter.
