A search was being carried out for the boy who got into difficulty in the water.
Gardaí were called to the scene at around 4pm this afternoon.
The body of a teenage boy feared missing in a reservoir has been recovered.
It is understood the 16-year-old boy may have been on school Easter holidays and went swimming in the water in Bohernabreena Reservoir near Tallaght, Dublin.
He went swimming with a number of friends because of the fine weather.
However he was reported missing earlier this afternoon by his friends.
The emergency services were alerted around 4pm and a widespread search of the water and the shoreline got underway.
Meanwhile, a man’s body was also pulled from the water at Shellybank near the Pigeon House in Ringsend, Dublin this afternoon.
A passerby alerted the emergency services that there was a body floating in the water.
It is believed the body may have been in the water for some time.
Elsewhere, gardai in County Donegal are trying to establish the identity of a man whose body was washed ashore on a popular beach.
The remains were found by local people on the beach close to the ‘Crest of the Wave’ housing estate in Bundoran.
Gardai say it is too early to say how the man died and so far he remains unidentified.
A post mortem is due to take place at Sligo General Hospital this evening
