The 30-year-old, who had been living in Newcastle, County Down, went missing from a hen party in Carlingford at around 11.30pm on Saturday evening, 16 March.

A major search party was launched after the rest of the hen party were unable to find her, but Gardaí confirmed on Monday afternoon that a body believed to be Ms Maguire had been found in Carlingford Lough.

A post-mortem will be carried out but Gardaí are treating it as a tragic event.

The search was later called off.
