A paraglider killed in an accident in the Wicklow mountains at the weekend had become a father for the second time just weeks ago.
Rafal "Ralph" Skora, 30s, never returned to his home in Artane on Saturday evening after spending time on the Wicklow mountains.
A search was carried out by gardai, the Dublin-Wicklow Mountain Rescue and the Irish Coast Guard.

His body was found at 8am on Sunday morning in the Ballinacor Estate in Wicklow, along with wreckage.
And it has emerged that Skora's wife had recently given birth to a baby girl, with the couple already parents to a three-year-old son.

“I read it online and it said the man was from north Dublin, but I didn't think it could be Rafal,” one close neighbour told the Irish Independent.
“It is very sad for his family. He was a really nice guy, and so happy to have become a father again. It is terrible,” he added.
