GARDAí HAVE ISSUED two separate appeals for missing young people who have been missing since earlier in the week.

16-year-old Neidín Kearns was last seen in Dublin city centre at around 8am on Tuesday morning.

She is described as being 5’5″ in height, with brown eyes, black shoulder-length hair, and of slight build.
