The search for a Swiss man, Mr Walter Borner, who is missing on the river Shannon is continuing this afternoon.
The body of his wife, Mrs Ruth Borner, was discovered on Monday near the village of Lecarrow on the Roscommon side of Lough Ree.
The alarm was raised when the couple's cruising boat was found with its engine still running on the shore of Inchmore Island.
The couple were last seen when they went out on the lake on Sunday evening. Among the theories suggested is that one of them fell into the water, and the other jumped in to attempt a rescue.
A lifebuoy was found close to where Ms Borner's body was found. Gardaí are working with Interpol to contact the next of kin.
Poor weather hampered the efforts of divers last night.
