Gardaí have launched an investigation into the suspected death of a young boy in Dublin under suspicious and previously unreported circumstances.
The child, last seen aged about three and a half, has not been accounted for in several years.
The case came to light when Tusla, the State’s child and family agency, raised concerns following a social welfare application.
Checks revealed no record of the boy attending school.
An incident room has been established at Swords Garda Station, and a house in Donabate, north Co Dublin, has been forensically examined.
No arrests have been made.
