There are fresh calls for a cold case review into the unsolved disappearance of an Irish teenager in Spain 14 years ago.

Amy Fitzpatrick’s aunt is making the plea on what is her 30th birthday.

The teenager from Coolock in Dublin was living there with her mother Audrey and her stepfather Dave Mahon.

There's been no trace of her since then and her aunt Christine Kenny - the sister of her father Christopher Fitzpatrick - remembers her fondly.

“She just wanted to be home,” she said. “She just wanted to with her dad.”

“She was on the phone constantly, saying to him, when she was in Spain, I love you Da and he would be messing saying, you just like to hear me talk and she would just giggle at him.

“You know she was a very, very happy child when they were small.”

Amy would turn 30-years-old today, and Christine says a ceremony is being held at 5pm this evening.

“We are going down to the Sensory Garden on Springdale Road there in Edenmore,” she said.

“We are just going to have a little bit of music and a small little service.”

Christine is asking the Irish authorities to order a fresh investigation into the case.

“Let a cold case come so we can actually shed some light on what has gone on,” she said.

“At the end of the day, she is an Irish citizen and she is entitled to be fought for.”

Over 5,400 people have signed an online petition calling for a cold case review.
