The single man in his 50s from An Cheathru Rua drowned after getting into difficulty off the south Connemara coast, where he had gone fishing in his currach which was spotted empty at around 3.30pm, prompting the alarm to be raised.
“A full scale search was launched and the man was found a short time later but efforts to save him were not successful,” said a Garda spokesperson.
