GARDAÍ HAVE CONFIRMED that the four Louth children who had gone missing from their home in Co Louth on Thursday have been found safe and well in Northern Ireland.
The Eaton children - Chloe (12), Jessica (10), Jon (5) and Megan (1) - were located safe and well in Newcastle, Co Down - around 50 miles from where they were taken - at about 1pm this afternoon.
A 30-year-old man, and a woman, have been arrested and are assisting the Police Service of Northern Ireland with their enquiries.
Gardaí had previously said the children were in the company of Steven Appleton, 30, and another woman.
Officers on both sides of the border extended their thanks to the public and media for their assistance, describing their cooperation as "invaluable" in bringing the search to a satisfactory conclusion.

5 out of 10…considering my age i thought i would have remembered more…happy new year to all.
Most of the kids on here are too young to remember 1998.
I remember working on work projects in 1998. I mustn’t have turned on the radio once that year.
10/10 proving that your favourite tweeting ex MP/TD/Republican Terrorist is stuck in a time warp.
@Baron Adams TD: happy New Year, Jorry.

@Darcy: Damn, I mixed them up with Roxette!!!
You would know if you were young in 1998. seems every day in the car was hearing one of their hits at the time. Cartoons Witch Doctor followed, just to keep with the 20 years old stuff.
I can’t recollect even 2018. Now you are talking things that were happened about a decade back!
@Dr. Udaya Khandavilli: 2 decades
@David Clements: Haha
5 out of 10 – surprised there was no question on Le Tour de Dopage which started in Dublin that year and triggered the Festina Affair
