AN IRISH student who was missing for almost four weeks has made contact with his family.
Stephen Cullinan, who is the son of North Tipperary Irish Farmers' Association Chair, Tim Cullinan, hadn’t been seen since November 2 when he left his home in Castleroy, Co. Limerick and made his way to Dublin.
Tipperary TD Michael Lowry confirmed on social media that the 25-year-old has now been found.
"The Cullinan family have asked that I let you know that Stephen has made contact with the family," he wrote in a Facebook post late last night. "They will update further tomorrow."
A concerned Cullinane family had appealed for the University of Limerick student him to get in touch or for anyone who had seen him to contact their local garda station over the last few weeks.
“It’s terrific news that he has been found. It’s time now to respect the family’s wishes and let them have their privacy."
