Gardaí and the Irish Coast Guard were alerted and a search operation was quickly mounted.

Weather conditions prevented the Coast Guard from reaching the body which later disappeared below the surface.

The Shannon based Irish Coast Guard helicopter Rescue 115 carried out sweeps of the area on Saturday and again on this morning.

Conditions hadn’t improved enough today for the Coast Guard to launch their boats however the larger Aran Islands RNLI lifeboat was able to join the search for a time.

There was however no sign of the body in the water today.

Doolin Coast Guard members are expected to resume the search early tomorrow.
