Human arm found on beach in south Dublin

Gardaí say the arm, as well as a human leg found on a beach last week, is being investigated.

GARDAÍ ARE INVESTIGATING the discovery of a human arm on a beach in Shankill, south Dublin yesterday.

The arm was found by a member of the public at around noon and Gardaí were notified.

Gardaí said the coroner has been notified and the arm has been taken to the morgue.

Last week a human leg was found by a walker on Dollymount beach and a spokesperson at the Garda press office told TheJournal.ie that while it is too early to say if they are connected, both body parts are being investigated and will be tested for a match.
