The man - aged in his 50s - is believed to have been working on his boat when he fell overboard at Wexford Harbour.

Emergency services - with the help of the local lifeboats and the coastguard - launched a search operation yesterday evening.

However they were unable to save the man.

His body was pulled from the water shortly before 6pm.
