Gardaí to use dental records to identify body

GARDAÍ believe there is a “strong possibility” the skeletal remains of a man found in the Dublin mountains are that of missing 28-year-old James Kenny McDonagh.

They are expected to confirm the identity today when they access Mr McDonagh’s dental records and compare them to the remains.

Garda sources said the results of DNA tests on samples from the remains were expected to take between seven and 10 days.
