'Human Foot' Washes Up On Portmarnock Beach

29th October 2015

#Portmarnock - An investigation is under way after the discovery of a severed human foot on Portmarnock Beach last week.

According to The Irish Times, the "skeletal remains" were found by a walker on the north Co Dublin beach on 20 October.

Gardaí are not currently treating the case as suspicious.

The news comes a fortnight after reports of a body part seen in the water near Ardnacrusha power station in Co Clare.

A search operation in the surrounding area was stood down after two days when no clues were found.
