Fitzpatrick search: Gardaí to help in Spain

The Spanish police have requested the assistance of the Gardaí in the search for missing teenager Amy Fitzpatrick.

The 15-year-old has not been seen since she vanished from the resort town of Fuengirola in the south of Spain on New Year's day.

According to the Gardaí, contact has been made through the force's liaison personnel in Interpol's Madrid offices.

It is understood the Spanish police wish to know if any sightings were made of the Amy in Ireland.
