Body Recovered In Search For Missing Person Off Howth

#NewsUpdate - Search and rescue teams recovered a body from the water off Howth late last night (Monday 14 October).

RTÉ News reports that the alarm was raised shortly after 9pm last night for a missing person, with the search being concentrated around the town's east pier and Balscadden Road area.

However, the Howth Coast Guard blog confirms that close to midnight a body was located by a coastguard search team and recovered to shore by the Howth RNLI inshore lifeboat.

Paramedics attended but the person was pronounced dead at the scene.

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven't put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full-time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
