Remains of Sligo man found at Ground Zero

The remains of a Co Sligo man, who died in the September 11 attack on the World Trade Centre in New York, have been recovered.

Kieran Gorman, who was in his 30s, had begun work on a construction project in the towers at the time of the attacks.

He was at the top of the complex when the second plane hit.

His remains had never been recovered until this week.

The Irish consulate in New York says it has been informed that remains found at Ground Zero this week are those of Mr Gorman.

It is believed identification was made through dental records.
