The bodies of two kayakers were recovered from the water near Portlaw.
The two men, both Waterford locals and in their early 30s, got into difficulty in the River Clodagh, a tributary of the River Suir.
The Bunmahon, Dunmore East coastguard units and the Carrick-on-Suir river rescue team assisted in the recovery of the bodies of the two men.
