Gardaí search for missing 14-year-old girl

Gardaí are appealing for the public's help in tracing a 14-year-old girl who has been missing from her Kilkenny home since Thursday.

It is believed Megan Lawlor, who is five foot, five inches tall and of slim build, travelled to Dublin and could be in the O'Connell Street or Tallaght area.

She has brown hair and eyes and when last seen on Thursday evening at around 5pm in Mullinavat, she was wearing navy jeans, a green hooded jumper with a black pattern and black boots.
