#Missing - The body of a man recovered from Dublin Bay this afternoon (Sunday 10 May) is believed to have been in the water for several weeks, and is thought to be the subject of a recent missing person's report, as The Irish Times reports.
A ferry passing south of Howth Head made the gruesome discovery and raised the alarm with the Irish Coast Guard, with Dun Laoghaire RNLI also sending a lifeboat to the scene near Burford Bank.
