Military Road Remains To Be Examined
The Garda Technical bureau are to examine the skeletal remains discovered in the Dublin Mountains over the weekend.
A forensic examination of the area is taking place while the state pathologist office tries uncover a cause of death for the body.
Two Hill walkers in the Dublin Mountains found the skeletal human remains on Sunday at around midday. They were found in a shallow grave beside an uprooted tree in a forest near Military Road.
No clothes or any other recognisable items were found at the scene, but further searches will be carried out throughout the day.
Gardaí said they will not be sure of either the sex or the identity until DNA, bone structure, dental records and other tests have been carried out.
The remains were taken to the City Morgue in Marino on Sunday evening where an examination is expected to take place on Monday afternoon.
The State Pathologist and a forensic anthropologist are expected to begin their examinations later today.
