Son, 6, sees garda father plunge to death off cliff

A 46-YEAR-OLD off-duty garda has died after falling from a cliff while fishing with his six-year-old son in Co Clare.

The body of Monaghan-based Adrian Martin, who was on holiday in the area, was recovered from the sea afterwards by rescue teams.

Mr Martin had been fishing from a 75-foot cliff close to Dunlicky Castle, a popular mackerel fishing spot near Kilkee.
