The Doolin unit of the Irish Coastguard yesterday recovered the body of a 51-year old man three miles north of Doolin Point off the north Clare coast. A spokesman said two fishermen spotted the man's body at 2.10 p.m. at Ard na Glasha. He had been missing since Monday.
Last week, the Doolin unit recovered the body of Mr Gerry Kiernan (45) of Rathfarnham, Dublin.
