Gardaí had launched a murder investigation into his disappearance in October.

Investigators searched a former family home in Emer Terrace in Dundalk and adjoining lands.

The garda said the results of the searches are not being released for “operational purposes”.

In October officers opened a murder investigation months after Kyran was reported missing with his mother.

At the time investigators said his mother had been located but investigators said the whereabouts of Kyran remain unknown and he is presumed dead.

It subsequently emerged that Kyran had potentially been missing for two years before authorities became aware of his disappearance.

An Garda Síochána continues to appeal to any person with any information, on the disappearance and murder of Kyran Durnin, no matter how insignificant it may seem.
