According to The Irish Times, her remains were discovered in an apartment on Castlebar Street shortly after 2.30pm on Saturday, at which time gardaí were called to the property.

It is hoped the postmortem examination will establish the cause and time of death. Currently, the woman's death is being treated as unexplained and it is not yet clear whether she died as a result of foul play.

The scene had been sealed off by gardaí upon their arrival on Saturday afternoon.

The results of the postmortem examination are expected later today.
