Rescue workers retrieve woman's body from Comeragh Mountains

 
Search and rescue teams have retrieved a woman’s body from the Comeragh Mountains in Co Waterford after a day-long operation.
An improvement in weather conditions allowed the Rescue 117 helicopter to move in and lift the body from difficult terrain shortly after 6pm on Tuesday.
A body was discovered on Monday evening during the search for Gillian Ryan (37), an experienced mountain runner who had gone missing on Sunday afternoon while on a popular but steep trail near Coumshinghun lake.
Emergency services were alerted when her husband did not hear from her after her run and a search effort commenced.
Investigations are ongoing but rescue services believe Ms Ryan, a mother of two, may have lost her footing or become disoriented in fog close to one of the deepest gullys in the Comeraghs.
