A 53-year-old woman has drowned after being swept out to sea by a wave in north Clare on Sunday morning.
The woman is understood to be from Eastern Europe but had been living in Co Tipperary. A postmortem examination is expected to be carried out on Monday.
The woman was part of a group that had been fishing at Ballyreen, south of Fanore.
The alarm was raised at about 8.45am when the Irish Coast Guard received a report of a person in the water.
Coast Guard teams from Doolin travelled to the scene and an ambulance and gardaí also responded.
The boat crew located the woman in the water about a kilometre from where she fell into the sea.
The woman was flown to University Hospital Galway where she was pronounced dead.
