Body of Clare woman found

Less than 24 hours after vanishing, the body of a 54 year old Clare woman has been found today not far from where she was last seen.

The discovery was made in a canal near Clonlara village and Barry Cross at around 11am and the body has been taken to Limerick Regional Hospital for a post mortem.

Colette Connolly was last seen Saturday around 3pm walking along the main Limerick to Broadford road.
