THE Irishman who died in the Maldives has been named.
Andrew Roddy, 30 and originally from Killester in north Dublin, died after he got into difficulty while swimming in the Maldives on Wednesday, October 19.
He was later pronounced dead.
Mr Roddy was on honeymoon on the south Asian island after his recent marriage to Gill Campion, also from Dublin.
He was a graduate of business from Dublin City University and worked with his wife in New Ireland Assurance in the Irish capital.
It is understood family members have flown out to the country to be with Ms Campion while they wait for Mr Roddy’s remains to be released by the authorities.
The Department of Foreign Affairs said they are aware of the case and is offering consular assistance to his wife and family.
There is no resident embassy in the Maldives but citizens may contact the Irish Embassy in New Delhi.
