 The body of a male, understood to be in his mid-50s, was recovered yesterday morning from a popular recreational area on the Tipperary side of the Shannon river.
The alarm was first raised when a passer-by became concerned having observed a motor vehicle parked close to the Ballina Slipway, in Co. Tipperary, at around 11.30am yesterday.
The emergency services, including an ambulance and rapid response advanced paramedic unit, the Killaloe unit of the Irish Coast Guard, Gardaí and members of the Killaloe fire service were alerted and responded to the scene, where they located a body floating approximately one kilometre from the town.
Despite the river being in fast-flow, the man’s body remained close to the shore and was quickly recovered by Coast Guard volunteers and the fire service personnel but alas was pronounced dead at the scene.
While Garda across the river in Killaloe have launched an investigation, they are understood to believe the death was a personal tragedy. The man’s body was taken by hearse to University Hospital Limerick (UHL) where a post mortem will now be carried out.
 The only occupant of a car has died following a car crash on the M7 motorway early this morning. The single vehicle incident, involving a female driver, believed to be in her 70’s, happened between Junction 24 (Toomevara / Nenagh) and Junction 23 (Moneygall) northbound, here in Co. Tipperary at around 7.00am.
Initial investigations indicate that the vehicle driven by the victim may have hit a barrier. A section of the motorway between both Junctions is expected to remains closed for several hours, to facilitate a Garda forensic collision investigation.
This latest Tipperary fatality brings to 8 in number, the people killed on Tipperary roads to date in 2017.
Witnesses are being asked to contact Nenagh Garda Station Tel: 067 50450; the Garda Confidential Line Tel: 1800-666-111 or indeed any Garda Station.
