The Rescue 117 helicopter has removed a body from the Comeragh Mountains this evening.
It follows three days of search and rescue teams scaling the difficult terrain on the search for a missing Tipperary woman.
37-year-old Gillian Ryan was well known among the local community in Horse and Jockey, as an athlete and valued member of the community.
