A missing six-year-old boy was found in Muckross Park following a dramatic search by Killarney Water Rescue, Search and Recovery Team.

The child wandered off from his family on the grounds of Muckross House, and KWR became aware that he was missing at round 4:15 yesterday afternoon.

Nine people and four search dogs were involved, before the public also joined in.
