A man in his late 60s has drowned in South West Donegal.
Gardaí, the Coast Guard and Emergency services were alerted shortly after 5pm yesterday evening, following reports of a person in the water off Bruckless.
The local man was removed from the water and taken to the pier where he underwent medical treatment but was pronounced dead a short time later.
His body has since been removed to the mortuary at Letterkenny University Hospital where a post-mortem examination will be carried out.
A file will be prepared for the Coroner.
