Body Confirmed As Missing Wicklow Man James Nolan
The body recovered yesterday from a river in the Polish city of Bydgoszcz has been identified as missing Wicklow man James Nolan, Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore confirmed last night.
“It was with great sadness that I received confirmation from our ambassador in Poland this evening that the remains located in Bydgoszcz earlier today are those of James Nolan,” Mr Gilmore said.
Members of Mr Nolan’s family arrived in the northern Polish city last night to identify the body.
Mr Gilmore said embassy officials would provide assistance to the Nolan family so that his remains could be returned home as soon as possible.
He also thanked the Polish authorities, in particular, the emergency services, search teams and the people of Bydgoszcz for all their efforts to find James.
Authorities shifted their focus in the search for Mr Nolan to the river Brdo after a review of CCTV footage led police to the area.
It is understood that Mr Nolan was identified on footage which showed him walking towards Bydgoszcz cathedral at 1.46am on Sunday.
Candles were lit and ribbons in the Irish colours were on display last night in the city near the scene where he went missing.
