The mother of missing Irish teenager, Nóra Quoirin, has thanked those searching for the 15-year-old in Malaysia.
She said the family are 'so grateful and it means so much to us'. She added, 'we hope you find Nóra'.
Nora Quoirin's family maintain the teenager - who has special needs - has been abducted, but Malaysian police are still treating it as a missing person's case.
The teen went missing from a resort 6okm south of Kuala Lumpar last Sunday.
A Garda Liasion Officer (GLO) has been deployed to Kuala Lumpur to assist the Department of Foreign Affairs, who are providing consular assistance to Nóra's family.
The officer "will liaise as required" with Malaysian police, as well as UK and French authorities, to assist in the search effort.
Nóra lives in London with her mother Meabh - who is from Belfast - and her French father Sebastien.
