Garda and naval divers searching for a missing fisherman off the coast of Valentia island in Co. Kerry have found a body.

It is that of a 32-year-old man.

The fisherman was with a group of anglers when he slipped and fell into the water late last night.

The search operation was suspended late last night and was re-started this morning.
