The body of a teenage boy has been recovered from the River Barrow after he got into difficulty swimming yesterday evening.
The body of the 17-year-old was found by garda divers at around 11pm following a search.
It is understood he was swimming with a friend when he got into difficulty at around 6.30pm in the river in the Milford area, around 8km from Carlow town.
His friend tried to help, but also got into difficulty due to the strong currents, before he managed to swim to safety and raise the alarm.
The scene remains cordoned off by gardaí.
