An Irish woman has died on the Italian island of Sardinia.
Local reports indicate the woman was an Irish tourist aged in her 60s who died on Tuesday after being swept out to sea.
A spokesperson for the Department of Foreign Affairs said it is aware of the case and providing consular assistance.
“As with all consular cases, the Department does not comment on the detail of individual cases.”
It is the second death of an Irish person within several days on the Mediterranean island.
John Bergin, who was from Kilkenny but living in Dublin, died in Sardinia on Friday while reportedly on a hike.
