Day two of search for missing swimmer ends as darkness descends

Day two of a multi agency search operation in Galway Bay to locate a missing swimmer has ended as darkness descends.

The woman in her thirties from Spiddal went missing yesterday, after taking a swim at Silverstrand in Barna.

The alarm was raised after the woman, who had parked her car at the strand, failed to arrive at work yesterday morning.

By that stage a search was already underway for daily swimmer Johnny Duhan who had failed to return to shore.
