Gardaí in west Cork are continuing to question a 49-year-old man arrested yesterday in connection with the disappearance of Ann Corcoran.
The man was detained at a house in the Bandon area yesterday on suspicion of murdering the widow.
A major search for Ms Corcoran was launched following her disappearance, and was still ongoing in the Bandon/Kilbrittain area until today's find.
