Tributes have been paid to a Cork woman who died while on holiday in the Philippines.
Meg Haugh, 26, from Ballintemple in Cork City died after becoming unwell while taking part in the adventure pursuit of canyoneering on Thursday.
She had been working as a doctor in Australia and it is understood that she was due home to Cork within the next two weeks.
It was reported locally that she suffered chest pains while participating in canyoneering in the Badian area of southwest Cebu in The Philippines.
Attempts made to revive her were unsuccessful.
She was brought to the local district hospital but pronounced dead a short time later.
Canyoneering consists of a combination of a number of outdoor activities including hiking, swimming and jumping while crossing canyons.
The Department of Foreign Affairs said it is aware of the case and is providing consular assistance.
Ms Haugh's family is associated with Avondale United football club in Carrigaline, Co Cork, and the club paid tribute to her and passed on sympathies to her family.
"It is with heavy hearts that we learn of the untimely passing of young Meg Haugh, daughter of Richard Haugh," the club said in a statement on the Avondale United website, adding that as a mark of respect, the weekend's home matches were cancelled.
"Our thoughts are with Richard and family including uncle John Haugh, an underage coach, extended family and friends. May Meg rest in peace."
Local councillor Mary Rose Desmond described Ms Haugh's death as being "in the most tragic of circumstances and every family's worst nightmare".
"Such a beautiful girl and to have such a tragic incident happen to her when living her life to the full is terrible," she said.
