Declan Reid went missing after capsizing while kayaking in Athy, Co Kildare on Sunday 28 February
RTÉ News and TheJournal.ie report that a body was recovered yesterday, Saturday 6 March, in the search for a kayaker missing on the River Barrow in Athy since last weekend.
As previously reported on Afloat.ie, Declan Reid (34) and his eight-year-old son entered the water when their kayak capsized near Ardreigh Lock last Sunday afternoon (28 February).
While the boy was rescued by a passer-by, Reid disappeared — which prompted a multi-agency search operation throughout the week.
