Three people have been rescued from Co Clare caves while rescue workers are trying to reach three remaining people.

A group of six people entered the underground caves in the Burren area underneath Slieve Elva near Cooleabeg earlier today but failed to return from the outing.

Three of the party have been rescued and brought to Ennis General Hospital suffering from hypothermia.

It is hoped to bring out the other three people later tonight.
