Man arrested released without charge

By Dan Walsh

A man arrested in connection with the discovery of a woman’s body on the Stena Nordica ferry sailing from Fishguard to Rosslare Europort on Tuesday evening has been released without charge.

Gardaí are treating the incident as a “personal tragedy for the deceased and family involved”.

Post mortem examinations on the woman have been completed but the results won’t be released for technical reasons.

It’s understood she had been part of a group which had been travelling to Ireland from Britain.

Gardaí say they aren’t looking for anyone else in connection with the inquiry.

A Garda Family Liaison Officer (FLO) continues to engage with and support the family of the deceased.

A Garda Senior Investigating Officer, will now supervise the completion of an investigation for the purpose of a file to assist a Coroner’s Inquest.

An Garda Síochána is not investigating any other separate alleged Public Order Incidents on board this ferry sailing.
