A rescue operation has been mounted off the Clare coast, after two people in a kayak were reported to be in difficulty.
The alarm was raised at shortly before 8 o’clock last night, by a passer-by who reported that a small boat appeared to be in trouble in Kilkee Bay.
The Kilkee unit of the Irish Coast Guard and Shannon based search and rescue helicopter, Rescue 115, were dispatched to the scene.

Coast Guard personnel located the pair and advised them of social distancing guidelines and the strict advice that people should not be out, except in special circumstances.
Once rescuers were satisfied that the man and woman were not in difficulty and did not require assistance, the rescue helicopter was stood down.
