Gardaí have renewed their missing person appeal for a 16-year-old boy who went missing from Co. Kildare.

Gardaí are seeking the public's assistance in tracing the whereabouts of Briain Holmes who is missing from Kildare town.

The teenager was last seen in the County Clare area on the afternoon of Thursday May 11, 2023.

There have been two subsequent possible sightings of Briain that have been reported in the North Clare area.

Briain is described as being approximately 5 foot 10 inches in height, of slim build and has fair hair and blue eyes. 

When last seen, Briain was wearing black jumper, dark black trousers and black runners.

Gardaí and Briain's family are concerned for his wellbeing.
