#Kilkee - BreakingNews.ie reports that the body of a young man was recovered from the sea off Kilkee in Co Clare yesterday morning (Monday 6 June).

It's believed that the 22-year-old man from north Cork may have fallen into the water during the previous night.

The tragic news came just hours after a man was airlifted to hospital following a cliff fall near Lahinch on Sunday morning (5 June), as previously reported on Afloat.ie.

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven't put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full-time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

If everyone chipped in, we can enhance our coverage and our future would be more secure. You can help us through a small donation. Thank you.
