A member of the State Pathologists office is at the scene where a human leg was found at a recycling centre in Dublin.

Dr Michael Curtis is to examine the limb which was found at half past eleven last night at Thornton's Recycling Plant on Killeen Road in Ballyfermot.

Workers found the limb on a conveyor belt around 11:30pm last night, as they were working at the plant on the Killeen Road in Ballyfermot. The alarm was raised and work was stopped immediately.
