Missing Limerick teen's mother: 'I just want to hold her, I miss her so much'

The search for missing schoolgirl, Chloe Kinsella, has intensified in Limerick, with a specially trained garda officer now coordinating the search.

Expert search dog units from Cork have also been drafted in to aid in the massive land, air and water operation.

15-year old Chloe has not been seen since last Saturday night when she left her home in Kileely in Limerick.

Despite her family declaring publicly their concerns that she may have been abducted or killed, gardaí say they have no evidence of a sinister involvement.

Chloe's mother Shirley said that she is praying she comes home safe.

"I'm devastated and the longer the days go the worse it is getting," she said.

"I just hope to God that she comes home safe

"I just want to hold her, I miss her so much, I love her."
