A dog that fell from a cliff in North Clare this afternoon has been rescued from the sea by Irish Coast Guard volunteers.
The alarm was raised at around 4.30pm when the dog’s owners called emergency services reporting that their pet had fallen from the cliff at Trá Lathan near Doolin. Cliffs in the area are as high as 75 feet high in places.
Volunteers from the Doolin unit of the Irish Coast Guard launched their D-class rescue boat and travelled to the scene a short distance from their station. Other members travelled to the location by road.
