The body of missing Dublin woman Bernadette Connolly has been found.
Bernadette's daughter Jade confirmed on social media that her body had been recovered on a beach in Blackpool, UK.
The emotional post read: "I write this message with a heavy heart..
"My family and I have received tragic news that a woman's body was recovered from a beach in Blackpool UK and it is confirmed to be my beloved mam Bernadette Connolly.
"We will always remember her smile, strong character, and love. Mam and I have had 30 years together, for that I am grateful, and our memories will live forever.
"This experience has been incredibly difficult for us and we couldn't have done it alone. From day one my family and I received so much unconditional and tireless support across the nation and worldwide, for which we can't express enough gratitude.
"As her daughter, I truly know I did all I could in my power to find her. We prayed for people to light a path to bring her home and we're so grateful to have her back and can now lay her to rest.
"This is a tragedy that no family should ever have to bare, we please ask that you respect our privacy during this time of grieving.
"Forever grateful, Jade & Family."
