Overview
- Workers found the body in the sorting area of the Greyhound Recycling facility after 9pm on Friday, and Gardaí opened an investigation.
- Authorities have named the deceased as 35-year-old Andrew Haire, who was known to have used welfare and homeless services in Dublin and Cork.
- The Garda Technical Bureau forensically examined the scene and a post-mortem was carried out with results withheld for operational reasons.
- Gardaí have asked the public for information on Mr Haire’s movements between 17 and 24 July, saying he was believed to have been in Dublin, Kilkenny and Cork.
- Greyhound Recycling said it is cooperating with investigators and officials warned that the centre’s nationwide intake of waste complicates tracing how material or a person arrived on site, raising questions about site safety and the visibility of vulnerable people.
