#Howth - The Irish Times reports that the body of a fisherman was recovered from Howth Harbour early yesterday morning (Friday 9 January).
The Latvian national, who was a longstanding member of the local fishing community, is thought to have fallen between two trawlers overnight.
It's also believed to have been in the water for some time before being discovered.
The body was removed to Connolly Hospital in Blanchardstown and a post-mortem was scheduled to be carried out yesterday afternoon.
