Man's body discovered at Dublin recycling centre

The body of a man has been discovered at a recycling centre in Dublin.

Gardaí (Irish police) are currently at the scene of Panda Recycling Centre, Ballymount, after the body was found at about 6:40 local time on Friday.

Gardaí said the man's body was examined at the scene and has now been taken to Dublin City Mortuary where a state post-mortem examination will take place.

Gardai said the results of the post-mortem will determine the course of the investigation.

The scene remains preserved and will be examined by Garda Technical Bureau.

Gardaí said no further information is available at this time.

Irish national broadcaster RTÉ is reporting that police are trying to establish how the man may have got into an industrial sized bin.

They suspect the bin was emptied last night for processing at the centre on Friday.

They have reported that detectives are examining CCTV footage from the waste collection trucks and the recycling centre.
