By Anne LuceyA body has been found in the two-day search for a missing Killarney man. A large scale search got underway in Killarney, Co Kerry for the second day at first light yesterday morning for Matt Hodd, the founder of a local poetry event. Mr Hodd, aged 42, an ecologist and a poet, was last seen in the Whitebridge/Millroad area of the Flesk River before noon on Friday. Kerry Mountain Rescue, Killarney Water Rescue, and the Civil Defence and locals were again searching a broad area since first light along the river banks which flows into the Killarney lakes near Ross Castle. The outdoors event involves poetry with contribution from visitors in a number of languages.
