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.

The promises the Labour made .before the election Will be there downfall . I will never vote Labour again . As for Gilmore Labour Party need a leadership change .the Irish way .
Action are words not near fancy vote gaining points . I would like to see Quinn to take control before its to late.
It’s too late for Labour, too many of their senior Politicians stood by while their Party allowed the low income & poor to be continually pummelled by Govt policies!
They are way beyond saving, with the exception of a complete rollback of Govt cuts & increase to original levels of Child benefit (ain’t going to happen) they are screwed, to simply pretend they are going to stop cuts in these areas in the upcoming budget is insulting & lets face it we know their game & it isn’t fooling us!!
Too late for Labour already but Quinn is definitely not the answer, he’s too closely associated with the champagne socialists who sold us out, he’s got questions to answer over his nephew and then there is the signing of the promise to students before the last election, a promise which like so many others was forgotten when they signed up to FG’s programme for government, one which neither party had a mandate to introduce. The only hope is a new Labour arising out of disaffected ordinary members without any of the DL traitors who are only out for themselves. If even one of the current Labour ministers is in it then it will be doomed.
Here in Drogheda The Labour Party office is ran from The SIPTU office Connolly Hall, it makes me sick to the stomach that they inforce their austerity on the poor with the support of SIPTU and other unions. Gilmore your a waste of space and nothing u can do will save your sorry Ass, as for the rest of The Labour Party tick tock!!
What happens when a politician takes viagra.. they grow taller! Bunch of prix!
have your say
