  • As does everyone else, I as a father of two teenagers hope she is found safe and well. But am I the only one to have noticed the alarming increase in this sort of appeal. More worrying is the negatively disproportionate amount of reported success. Has anyone any information on the report to recovery stats.? Are the gardai doing regional distribution analysis on this issue.? What happens when someone just doesn’t turn up. ?
