An Irish schoolgirl is believed to have drowned after falling overboard while on a cruising holiday off the coast of Mexico.
The Mexican navy last night confirmed to The Irish Timesthat an Irish girl had gone overboard between 2.30 and 4am on Wednesday, and that no body has been recovered.
The incident occurred off the coast near Isla Mujeres, just a few miles from the shore at Cancun.
The 15-year-old girl has been named locally as Lindsay O'Brien from Terenure in south Dublin.
