#Drowning - The body of a man has been recovered from the Avoca River in Arklow, Co Wicklow while the search continues for a second missing person, according to The Irish Times.
It's being reported that one other person was rescued from the river near the Bridgewater Shopping Centre after the alarm was raised in the early hours of this morning (10 September).
Two others thought to have entered the water were able to get out themselves.
