Missing 16-year-old boy from Geashill located safe and well

Gardai who had been looking for the public's help in tracing 16-year-old Craig Boylan, who went missing from Geashill on August 15, say he has been located safe and well.

An appeal had been issued earlier this week to look for the boy who was described as 5'10'' (178cm), of medium build with short red hair and blue eyes, and who was last seen wearing a black jacket and grey tracksuit bottoms. 

At the time Gardaí believed Craig may have been in the Ballymun or Blanchardstown areas of Dublin.

Today, gardai have thanked the public for their assistance and say no further action is required.
