An Irish J1 student who had been reported as missing in Boston has been found safe and well.

According to the Cambridge Police Department in the US, Matthew Kelleher was found earlier this morning, Irish time.

A massive online campaign had been launched to find Matthew by his family, who asked all J1 students in the US to distribute his photo and "spread the word/picture so we can help find him."

Matthew Kelleher is a student of University College Cork and is on a J1 visa to the United States.

Matthew's brother Chris Kelleher said yesterday that the student had been missing in Boston since Monday lunchtime.

He was last spotted near Logan Airport and his family said that he was disoriented.

He was officially registered as a missing person with the Cambridge Police Dept in Massachusetts.

The Facebook page set up to help find Matthew is also reporting him as found, as is University College Cork.
