“At this point in time, gardaí now have serious concerns for Daniel’s safety,” he added.

“As with any investigation, our efforts are greatly enhanced by assistance from the public and for that reason I want to appeal again today for anyone with information about Daniel to contact us.”

He was last seen wearing navy tracksuit bottoms, a navy jacket and white running shoes.
