Gardaí are investigating an incident where a body was recovered offshore from Dun Laoghaire Harbour, on Dublin Bay yesterday, (Friday, 9th October).
The Naval Service's coastal patrol vessel LÉ Ciara (P42) assisted with the recovery of the body.
The body of the deceased was taken to the local mortuary and, according to a Navy spokeswoman, the incident is now a matter for an Garda Siochana.
Enquiries are ongoing and there is no further information at this time, according to a Garda spokeswoman.
As Afloat reported yesterday, LE Ciara arrived into Dun Laoghaire Harbour yesterday at lunch-time, berthed overnight at number four berth and departed this morning (Saturday, October 10th).
Local sources told Afloat the body was of a female and was recovered well offshore but this was not confirmed.
