Gardaí are appealing to the public for help identifying a man whose body was recovered from Galway Bay this month.
The body of a man was recovered from the water at Claddagh Quay in the city on Sunday, November 17.
The man is estimated to have been aged in his 60s, and 5ft 7 inches in height. He was of a medium build, 78-80kg. He had blue eyes and a full head of red/grey hair.
He had a grey full beard, with the moustache part of the beard slightly red. He had black-rimmed glasses on his person.
The man is believed to have had an Irish accent.
He was wearing a grey tweed suit jacket and trousers, and a blue/white striped shirt with a flowery print along the seams where the buttons are and inside the collar. He wore size 10 black laced dress shoes, Asos brand.
An Garda Síochána have said that the death is not being treated as suspicious.
Superintendent Paudie O’Shea of Gaillimh (Galway) Garda Station said: “Extensive enquiries have been carried out but there has been no positive identification of the deceased to date.”
“I am appealing to owners of guest houses, landlords, hotels, hostels, B&Bs and Airbnbs to check if anybody left their premises and may have left property behind.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Gaillimh Garda Station on 091 538000, the Garda Confidential line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.
