The body of a man has been removed from Dollymount Strand in north Dublin following its discovery earlier.

A post-mortem is due to get underway to establish his identity and cause of death.

The remains were washed-up onto the shore and found by a passerby at around 11.30am this morning.

An investigation is underway at Raheny Garda Station but at this stage it is believed his death was a personal tragedy.
