It comes on the 11th day of an extensive, search operation in an effort to locate the 32 year old..
The woman was one of two people reported missing from Silverstrand beach in Galway on 12 November.
The remains of songwriter Johnny Duhan were recovered from the water shortly afterwards.
The body, which has yet to be formally identified, was found in waters close to Silverstrand beach a short time ago.
The Shannon based Coast Guard Rescue 115 helicopter conducted a detailed sweep of a section of Galway Bay, close to the beach for much of this afternoon.
Hundreds of volunteers had spent the last week and a half carrying out a coastline search, along with local boat owners and RNLI crews at sea.
