Two 14-year-old girls reported missing from their homes in Limerick yesterday morning have both been located.
Caoimhe Barry and Khloe Murphy were found to be missing from their homes in Castleconnell, Limerick and Annacotty, Limerick early on Tuesday. Concerned family members immediately raised the alarm and Gardaí launched a nationwide appeal.
It was believed that the teens were together with families of both girls concerned for their wellbeing.
Gardaí this morning confirmed that the teenagers have been found safe and well: “Caoimhe Barry (14) and Khloe Murphy (14) who were missing from their homes in Castleconnell and Annacotty, in Limerick since Tuesday, 7th January 2025 have been found safe and well.
