A heroic Irish father who drowned while trying to save his daughter in Australia has been named by friends and family in heartbreaking tributes.
Paul Doran, from Co Kildare, was from the well-known Pat Doran Construction family and tragically died rescuing his 11-year-old daughter last Wednesday evening at Seven Mile Beach on Lennox Head, around two hours south of Brisbane.
It has been revealed that the family had only moved to Australia in the last few months having moved from Tipperkevin in Ballymore Eustace, County Kildare.
