Minister Fitzgerald said: “ The CRI app will be available to download for free on most smartphone platforms from tomorrow, and should prove a boon to Gardai as it provides them with a further method of enlisting the public’s assistance when investigating child abduction cases.
“When the app is downloaded on a smartphone, the user will receive a
notification when a CRI Alert is issued.
“This efficient use of new technology is an innovative and welcome step towards ensuring that as a nation we use every tool at our disposal to keep our children safe," concluded Fitzgerald.
