Gardai investigating after 'human remains' found at recycling plant in Bray, Co Wicklow

Gardai are investigating after the apparent discovery of human remains in Wicklow.

A full investigation is underway after a skull and bones were found at The Greenstar recycling plant in Bray earlier today.

A garda spokesman told The Irish Daily Mirror they're currently being examined and that the investigation is ongoing.

He said: "Gardai in Bray Co Wicklow were called to a recycling plant in Bray today where a skull and bones were discovered. The items will now be examined. Investigations are continuing."

Gardai are still exploring all possibilities.

It isn't the first time a body has been found at the site.

In 2016, a worker discovered the body of a stillborn baby girl which was believed have been on a load from either north Dublin or Limerick.

The employee had been going through a pile of rubbish when he spotted what he first believed to be a doll.

It wasn't until he picked her up that he realised the harrowing discovery and a full investigation was launched.
