The person's remains were spotted yesterday afternoon, and large-scale operation involving Garda divers, the Shannon-based Rescue Helicopter and members of the Doolin unit of the Irish Coast Guard got underway.

However, this was unsuccessful in conditions described as 'unfavourable' and another effort will begin tomorrow morning.

An item of clothing was recovered at the top of the cliffs, but the identity of the person in the water is not known.
