He told reporters: “It is deeply, deeply shocking and very, very sad that the remains of a young boy have been discovered yesterday.

“The family, the community, and, I think, wider society are deeply saddened, particularly when, you know, the photographs emerged, which put a person and an identity on to what was prior to that - you didn't realise who the boy was.

“We have to await further investigations by the Gardai and by others into the background here to then inform us in terms of how we take this forward."
