The father of an Irish teenager missing in Spain has made an appeal for information in relation to his daughter's disappearance.
Amy Fitzpatrick, 15, went missing on New Year's Day near her home in Fuengirola on the Costa Del Sol where she lives with her mother, brother and stepfather.
She lived in Donaghmede before she moved to Spain three years ago.
Today her father Christopher issued a statement from his home in Dublin, which was read by Amy's aunt Christine Kenny.
The family have appealed for anyone who may be holding Amy to let her go and have asked her to get to a phone and contact the gardaí or the Spanish police.
They say they just want her back safe and well, that they have been devastated by her disappearance and that any information would be greatly appreciated.
The Department of Foreign Affairs has been in contact with Amy Fitzpatrick's family and has offered all possible consular assistance.
