Gardaí are attempting to unravel several conflicting witness accounts of what happened to a boy who went missing four years ago and is feared dead.
Searches for the child’s remains in an area of ground in north Dublin are expected to continue for several more days.
The boy spent about a year in state care before returning to his family in 2020, with Tusla confirming it had no contact with the child between 2020 and last week.
The case comes one year after it emerged another boy, Kyran Durnin, had not been seen for several years and is now feared dead.
Conor Lally and Kitty Holland report on the search for the Dublin boy and the questions that must be answered about how a child once in the care of the State could vanish for years.
