TWO MEN HAVE been rushed to hospital after they were seriously injured in an accident at the Cliffs of Moher in Clare.
One of the men has been airlifted and is understood to have sustained serious injuries.
Details of the incident are still vague however it’s known the alarm was raised at around 1pm today.
It’s understood that three men had made their way down a treacherous goat track at Aill Na Searrach and were almost at the base of the cliff when two of them fell.
The Doolin unit of the Irish Coastguard and the Shannon based search and rescue helicopter were sent to the scene. Coastguard volunteers made their way down the narrow track and located two casualties.
The helicopter winchman was lowered onto the rocky shoreline at the base of the 700ft high cliffs where the first of the casualties was placed in a stretcher.
He was airlifted to a nearby field and taken to University Hospital Limerick by ambulance.
The more seriously injured second man has been flown to University Hospital Galway.

Didn’t they only say just last week that we were doing fantastically well?
Cut the ESRI altogether….that should save a good few bob !!!!!!!!
Yeah, if we get rid of all the people saying we need to close the gap between governent spending and revenue then maybe it’ll all just go away.
The ESRI do not exactly have a credible record as economic advisors.
Yes if we cut the ERSI from the public purse maybe they might start getting it right in the world of sink or swim.
Yes daniel they did but that was last week :-)
its only an extra 400 million say it fast doesn’t sound much …
Down with that sorta thing
Careful now
How can u cut more and more and expect growth ,, it just doesnt make sense
What do you want us to do, follow the examples of Germany and Holland, who are still performing reasonably well and have low debt.
FG/FF will never do that, and their excellent track record of only bankrupting the state 4 times in 90 years is proof of that.
Absolutely nothing is being done at the moment for the domestic economy, indeed August has been the worst month to date for company insolvencies. The SME’s, the domestic economy are dying, but then again they are only with the rest of the little people and are well below the concern of FG/FF. Always have been, always will be.
What kind of salaries are ESRI academics on? Wasn’t it one of the cheerleaders of a ‘soft landing’? More calls for a tow from the Titanic.
have your say
