Passenger's body recovered from sea

Rescue services have recovered the body of an Irish woman who failed to disembark from a ferry in Holyhead last night.

The woman is believed to have boarded the Ulysses before it left Dublin at 9pm last night.

A search was launched when she failed to present herself at Holyhead at the end of the journey.

Items of her clothing were apparently found on the deck of the ship in Holyhead.

The Howth Lifeboat located the woman’s body this afternoon near the Kish lighthouse, off the coast of Dun Laoghaire.
