Kilrush RNLI was tasked to the scene at 2:45 yesterday afternoon, and found on their arrival that the person inside the car had already exited the car with help from members of the public.

The casualty was said to be suffering from shock and was taken to Limerick Regional Hospital.

Kilrush lifeboat left the scene, but returned just after 4 o'clock to provide safety cover as divers entered the water to examine the vehicle, which had drifted around 100m from the Pier in the currents.
