Gardaí have launched an investigation into the deaths of a man and woman in Co Clare.
It is understood that a garda officer was at the scene of an electrical fire in the village of Kildysart when he noticed a distressed woman in the street.
As the officer approached the woman she collapsed. A child that had been with her then ran to a nearby apartment.

Despite the efforts of emergency services, the 27-year-old woman and 44-year-old man were pronounced dead at the scene.
Garda have said they are investigating the circumstances surrounding the deaths but are treating them as a "tragic domestic incident".
