The family of a London schoolgirl travelling with an Irish passport in Malaysia are appealing for help to trace her.

15-year old Nóra Quoirin, who has special needs, disappeared while on holiday with her family.

Speaking from Belfast, her aunt Aisling Agnew says Nora's parents and relatives in Ireland and France are distraught.

The police are now treating her disappearance as a missing persons case.

Her family have launched a Twitter account '@FindNora' to appeal for information.
