LATEST: Garda update on search for two missing people as both are 'found'
An Garda Síochána has given an update on two missing girls following separate appeals to the public to help locate them in recent days and months.
13-year-old Emily O’Connor who was reported missing from Dublin 7 on Thursday, February 19, 2026, has been "found safe and well," according to a Garda update.
Emily had been reported missing from the Dublin 7 area and gardaí had expressed "concern" for her wellbeing in an earlier appeal to the public for help finding her.
Elsewhere, Megan O’Brien, described as being 5 foot 2 inches in height, with a slim build, dyed red hair and brown eyes - was reported missing from The Ward, Dublin 11 since Friday, February 13.
Gardaí were similarly "concerned for Megan's well-being" at the time of the appeal but have since provided a positive update.
