Gardaí in Donegal have recovered the body of a young man from the river Finn in County Donegal.

Rescuers, including a Garda diving team, trawled the River Finn near the GAA club Ballybofey where the man fell into the river late last night.

A second man - believed to be the missing man's friend - was rescued from the water after also falling in. He was brought to hospital, where his injuries are not said to be life-threatening.

The search for the man was called off shortly after midnight last night due to deteriorating weather and light conditions.
