Ireland's top law enforcement agency issued a report stating that the country needs to develop an AMBER Alert program. The report from the Garda Inspectorate said the alert system for missing children should include “strict criteria and provisions for international collaboration.”

The report noted that an AMBER Alert would not have been issued in any missing child case in Ireland during the past decade but that an all-island alert system needs to be in place. “The potential to rescue a child from a life-threatening abduction is deserving of priority in all circumstances.”
