More than 100 children missing in Ireland

More than 100 children remain on Ireland’s missing persons list, it has been revealed.

However, one of the country’s most senior Garda officers said there was no way to compare the figures with overseas because of “protocols” used to record them here.

Garda Assistant Commissioner John O’Mahoney said 114 children who were reported missing over the past five years had still not been found. Of these, 106 vanished while under state care.
