The body of one of the Irish doctors killed in the Air France crash last month has been found.
The Irish Department for Foreign Affairs said that the remains of Dr Jane Deasy from Dublin had been identified.
The remains of her friends Eithne Walls from Ballygowan, County Down and Aisling Butler, from Roscrea, County Tipperary have not been located.
Air France Flight 447 was flying from from Rio de Janeiro to Paris.
All 228 people on board the Airbus 330 were killed but just 51 bodies have been found.
The Brazilian military has ended its search for bodies.
An Irish official is liaising with the Brazilian authorities with regard to the repatriation of Dr Deasy's remains.
Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheal Martin said: "I reiterate my sincerest condolences to Dr. Deasy's family, and to all those who lost loved ones in this terrible tragedy."
The plane's black boxes have not been found and are expected to stop emitting signals on 2 July.
