Authorities in Dublin have issued a pressing appeal for the public’s assistance in locating two young brothers, Clayton Mooney, aged 11, and Leeroy Mooney, aged 8, who were last seen during the early hours of Friday, January 5, in the Ballymun area of Dublin 9.

Both the investigating Gardaí and the boys’ family are deeply concerned for their safety and well-being. They are urgently seeking the cooperation of the community in bringing the brothers home safely.

Clayton Mooney is described as approximately 5’4″ tall, with a slim build, blonde hair, and striking blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a pink jersey and black shorts.

Leeroy Mooney stands at around 5′ tall, with a slim build, dark blonde hair, and bright blue eyes. When he was last seen, Leeroy was dressed in a navy tracksuit and was wearing a pink Inter Miami jersey featuring the name “Messi” on the back.

In light of the circumstances, authorities are appealing to anyone who may have information about the whereabouts of Clayton and Leeroy Mooney to come forward and assist in their safe return.
