Gardaí are still searching an area of disused railway line in East Cork after more human skeletal remains were found on Thursday.

While weather conditions posed additional challenges to the technical examination of the scene in the Roxborough area, about 3km east of Midleton, gardaí said the site will remain sealed off while the examination continues.
