Gardaí have today renewed their appeal for help in identifying a human skull which was picked up by a fishing trawler off Lambay Island near Balbriggan, Co Dublin over two years ago.

The skull was discovered by the fishing vessel Our Traceyin February 2006.

It had been in the water for up to two years, an inquest at Dublin County Coroner's Court was told last January.

Facial reconstruction was carried out on the skull earlier this year.

However, despite circulating photographs of the reconstructed skull, gardaí have not been able to identity the man, who is described as aged between 25 and 45.
