Fears are growing for the missing Dublin teenager Lynette McKeown who has been missing since last Friday.

The 19-year-old from Tallaght is described as being 5'4" in height, of thin build with a fair complexion.

She was last seen leaving her home in Birchwood Heights heading towards the city centre, wearing blue jeans, a blue denim jacket and white Nike trainers.

Inspector Eamon Dolan from Tallaght garda station today said that her two-year-old daughter Kelly, her partner and her family are anxious to contact her.
