The lifeboat crew arrived on scene 25 minutes later.

The body of a male was recovered by the RNLI in the Irish Sea, east of Raven Point, south of Curracloe, and brought to shore.

The man’s body has since been transferred to the morgue at University Hospital Waterford, where a post-mortem examination will take place in due course.

The results of the examination will determine the course of the Garda investigation.

Enquiries are ongoing.
