Weather hampers bid to recover woman’s body at cliffs

THE body of a Dublin woman remained lodged, for a second night, on rocks at the base of the Cliffs of Moher after adverse weather continued to hamper rescue services yesterday.

Strong winds, whipping up high seas, prevented efforts by the Doolin Rescue Unit to retrieve the woman who accidentally fell to her death on Monday. Her name was last night withheld by gardaí.

Family members of the victim will return to the famed beauty spot this morning as, weather permitting, Doolin Coastguard volunteers make a further attempt to recover the body.
