Sebastian discovered that she was in not in her bedroom at around 8am and a large-scale manhunt was immediately launched.
Over 350 people as well as a helicopter, drones and sniffer dogs have been combing the area around the resort for the past ten days.
It was announced yesterday that a cash reward of over €10,000 was being offered for information leading to Nóra's return.
In a statement, the Quoirin family said their hearts were breaking.
"Nóra is our first child. She has been vulnerable since the day she was born. She is so precious to us and our hearts are breaking," they said. "We are appealing to anyone who has information about Nora to help us find her.”Two separate GoFundMe campaigns to help with the family's costs have amassed donations of over €120,000. This is a developing story.
