Gardaí Appeal After Man Drowns In Liffey

Gardaí in Dublin have issued an appeal following the death of a man in the city from drowning.

Officers at Pearse Street station have requested assistance from the public in their investigation into the death of the 27-year-old male who drowned in the River Liffey, near Aston Quay, last Monday at approximately 2am.

They are particularly keen to speak to several people who were standing at the Taxi rank on Aston Quay and who went on to try and assist the male in the water.

Their efforts were unsuccessful and the Dublin Fire Brigade later took the male from the River Liffey.
