Gardaí searching for father who has fled with son

Gardaí are searching for a father who has failed to return his son to the man’s estranged wife and has disappeared with the boy.

Already this year, gardaí have issued an adult caution to the man after he wrote graffiti and erected signs around his ex-partner’s house in Co Clare and glued the lock on her home in a bid to intimidate the woman.

Following their separation, the mother resides in Clare with their son and the father resides on the European mainland.
