DIVERS have found the body of a 17-year-old girl missing for nearly a week.

The girl’s body was discovered near Barrington’s Pier soon after 1pm on Saturday.

The 17-year-old entered the river at Sarsfield Bridge on Sunday last which led to a huge search of the river throughout the week by civil defence search teams.

Garda divers and the Shannon based search and rescue helicopter had also been involved in the search.
