The multi-agency operation involved personnel from a total of eight counties who had been searching for the 12-year-old who was reported missing after he became separated from his mother during a visit to the Cliffs of Moher last Tuesday
A body has been recovered from the sea off the coast of Co. Clare as the search for a boy missing from the Cliffs of Moher resumed for a sixth day.
The body has been removed by hearse to University Hospital Limerick where formal identification will be made and a postmortem examination carried out. A land, air and sea search and rescue operation was mounted at around 2.00pm on Tuesday and continued until evening when sea conditions had started to deteriorate.
The Cleggan unit of the Coast Guard in Galway travelled to Clare to assist their Doolin colleagues using high-spec drones to search the cliff base and wider coastline. The Costello Bay unit of the Irish Coast Guard also searched areas along the Galway coastline while members of the Inis Oírr unit carried out shoreline searches in their area. That unit is land based and is managed by Doolin Coast Guard.
