Gardai have named the man whose body was recovered from Galway Bay earlier today.
The remains of 39-year-old Daniel Nee, from Cashel in Connemara, were found floating in the water near Mutton Island at around 6am.
A construction worker made the discovery.
A post mortem will be carried out at University College Hospital in Galway. It is understood that Mr Nee's body had been in the water for some time.
