A MAN HAS been airlifted to hospital in a critical condition after he was washed into the sea in Co Clare this afternoon.
The man is believed to have been taking photographs at the base of a cliff at Creeragh, off the Dunlicky coast road, near Kilkee. It’s understood he was struck by a rogue wave and washed into the sea.
The man is believed to have made his way down to the base of a cliff before he was swept off the rocks. He is understood to be 30 years old and from Hungary but living in Galway.
Emergency services were alerted at around 3.30pm and a major search and rescue operation was mounted.
Irish Coast Guard
Gardaí and volunteers from the Kilkee unit of the Irish Coast Guard were dispatched to the scene while the Shannon-based Irish Coast Guard helicopter, Rescue 115, was also tasked to assist in the search.

That is fantastic news!
Well – looks like a thief with a conscience ……
Good news story, great to hear, fair play to the facebook sharers.
Obviously an ordinary decent criminal.
They took the chain. My god what utter dirt bags. The filth of humanity is all they are and don’t anyone dare give them the smallest ounce of credit for this. FILTH FILTH FILTH.
You said it bro.
Awesome
Delighted he got it back so irreplaceable
Disgusting isn’t even the word.
Oh thanks thieves, for your heart filled generosity.
Now let this be a lesson to you sucmbags for the heartbreak you cause innocent people and clean up your f***in’ act.
Those particular type of thieves are very superstitious thats why it was dropped back
So glad to hear..
A bit of good news at last.. :)
Yes!
A gentleman thief
I think a gentleman would have returned the chain as well.
No. A gentleman wouldn’t have broke in and robbed his home in the first place.
Guess i should have put the word sarcasm in brackets to be more clear
A gentleman would never rob the personal belongings of another
A gentleman would never rob, point
It seems there is a kind of honour among thieves
have your say
