Missing since Thursday, his remains were discovered on Friday, in Shankill.

Sinead had reported Shane missing before, back in January 2019, but he was discovered some days later safe and sound with friends in Wicklow.

This time, the search for the 17-year-old boy – who had left Tallaght Hospital unannounced –  ended in Friday’s tragic discovery.

Posting on Twitter, Sinead stated, ‘The light of my life. The lamp of my soul. My blue-eyed baby.

‘You will always be my light. We will always be together. No boundary can separate us.’

There will be a memorial for Shane at Thomas Murphy & Sons Funeral Home at 5pm on Friday 14th, with a family and close friends celebration of his life at the Martello on Sunday 16th from 2pm to 5pm.
