Fresh appeal over murder of 20-year-old Dublin father 17 years ago

Detectives believe people in the local community have evidence that could fill in the gaps and enable a fresh file to be sent to the DPP

Paul Byrne was last seen leaving in a car with other men near the family home on Kilmartin Avenue on July 29, 2010.

Gardaí are appealing to people previously close to those suspected of murdering a 20-year-old father to give “some comfort” to a heartbroken family by coming forward.

The remains of Paul Byrne were discovered 15 years ago, on July 15, 2010, in woodland near Blessington, Co Wicklow, a short drive from his home in Jobstown, Tallaght, south west Dublin.
