Two teenagers from Co Kerry, who were reported missing at the weekend, have been found safe and well in Dublin.
Katie Mangan, 12, and Donnacha Ireland, 15, from Killarney were located by gardaí just before 1am in the city centre.
Both had travelled to Dublin by train on Sunday evening.
Gardaí have paid tribute to members of the public for their help in locating the two teens.
The fathers of the two children had made a public appeal for them to get in contact.
Their families spent yesterday searching for them in Dublin city centre.
Andy Ireland, father of Donnacha, said the children had known each other for around six months.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, he said he got the news early this morning that the two children were safe.
He said: "We heard about 1am I suppose, we were walking the streets and around.
"We got the phone call that not only had they been spotted that they were ... they were met, they were safe and they were actually in the process of making their way home again."
