It is understood that was not the case in Friday\u2019s discovery. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">Garda Headquarters also took the unusual step of naming the dead man on Sunday. On Monday, garda\u00ed released a photograph of him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">They are hopeful people who knew him will contact them and also that information about his recent activities, and who he was in contact with, may emerge from friends and associates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">Garda\u00ed are seeking the public\u2019s help in establishing the movements of  Haire between July 17th and July 24th.
