Ciaran Noonan

Ciaran Noonan was walking on Russell Avenue East, East Wall, Dublin 3 at approx 4:30pm on Thursday,  the 20th October 2011 when the occupants of a black VW Golf alighted from the vehicle, assaulted him with an iron bar and bundled him into the rear of the car.  This vehicle is a black coloured VW Golf Registration number 05 D 88805 (4 door saloon with small rear spoiler, spoked wheels and tinted windows).  Gardaí are also interested in a blue BMW 3 series with 3/4 males on board which was seen in the East Wall area on the day of the abduction.
