About this episode

The search for a missing child who was last seen when he was just three and a half years old is continuing as it emerges that Tusla, the child protection agency, had dealt with his case before he was handed back to his family.

Nicola speaks with Niall Donald about a grim hunt on waste ground for a missing child and the questions that need to be answered about how he was last seen alive more than three years ago.
