Emergency services were alerted, launching a swift search operation. Sadly, the boy's body was discovered around 11.30pm by Garda divers within a short distance from his last known position. The deceased, who was a beloved secondary school student and active in local sports, was remembered fondly by the community. A post-mortem will be conducted at Waterford University Hospital as the Gardaí treat this case as a tragic incident.
The young man's body was found by Garda divers within a 10m radius of where he was last seen.
Mayor of Carlow Cllr Fintan Phelan expressed condolences, stating the incident is 'very, very sad and difficult for them all'.
