Lee McLaughlin (19) from Gleneely arrived in Paris on Sunday with his father and another family member, and was due to fly back home to Ireland yesterday (Tuesday June 14) but did not turn up for his flight.

They attended Ireland’s opening Group E match v Sweden at the Stade de France on Monday evening before they returned to their hotel in Montmartre several hours after the game.
