Body found in Baltimore search

A body has been found in the search off Baltimore, Co. Cork.

The body has yet to be formally identified.

Dozens of divers from across the country have helped with the search for Barry Davis Ryan in West Cork.

The 20 year old was swept to sea 10 days ago, when his father and girlfriend drowned.

The discovery came as worsening conditions threatened to stop today's diving, although volunteers had vowed to keep up the search.

"It's a sad occasion but it will also be a great relief for the families. On behalf of the coastguard we'd like to thank everybody who has participated and supported this very difficult search over the past ten days. " said Mr O'Flynn.

"All the indications are that it is the casualty that they have been looking for, in very difficult search conditions over the past few days."
