The Central Criminal Court has heard of Garda efforts to resuscitate Ashling Murphy after she was found.
Gardaí have been giving evidence before the jury of nine men and three women, which heard of distressed phone calls to the station on January 12th, 2022.
33-year-old Jozef Puska, of Lynally Grove, Mucklagh, Offaly, has pleaded not guilty to Ms. Murphy's murder.
The jury heard evidence of Gardai who arrived at the scene where Ashling Murphy's body was found.
Garda Tom Dunne said he and his colleague Gda Shane Hunter alternated applying CPR for around 10 minutes.
The court heard she had a phone and SEAT car keys in her pocket and a necklace around her neck which said Ashling.
Also giving evidence, Detective Sgt David Scahill said he noticed wounds on her neck, and said it took four people to bring the body from the ditch to the path along the Grand Canal.
The jury also heard after using a defibrillator, there were no signs of life, so paramedics stopped working on her body and she was pronounced dead a short time later.
