Philip Cairns

Welcome to the Cliff’s Edge podcast with your host Ciaran McConnell.

Philip Cairns was a good kid. He was the son, brother, grand child and friend you would want to have. So, when on Friday the 23rd of October ,1986 when 13 year old Philip, disappeared on his way back to school after his lunch time break, nobody could understand what had happened to Philip. Nearly 40 years on and Ireland still asks that question “Where is Philip Cairns?”.

Joining Ciaran on the podcast is series regular Shayne Phelan. Shayne was the same age as Philip when he disappeared in 1986 and provides some interesting insights to young teenage boys in 1980’s Ireland.

Later in the episode Shayne talks to a source by the name of “Tom” who knew a person of interest in this case.
