The man’s body has now been recovered.
Updated at 12.35pm
RAIL SERVICES between Cork and Cobh are expected to resume shortly, after a man’s body was discovered on the shoreline at Glounthaune this morning.
Irish Rail shut down its Cobh and Midleton services to and from the city after a request from Gardaí, at around 10am.
A Coast Guard unit then recovered the body, which could only be accessed by crossing the line.
“The body was recovered shortly after midday, and Gardaí are now investigating,” an emergency services source said.
The body is believed to be that of a man aged in his 40s.
