The woman was among a group of 20 from the University of Limerick kayaking club on a trip to the area.
She and a 21-year-old male student got into difficulty in rough waters near Lake Caragh at around 2.30 last Saturday afternoon. A multi-agency HSE lead rescue operation was launched and the two were airlifted to University Hospital Kerry in Tralee.The male student remains in a stable condition.
This is so very desperately awful. My condolences to her family, her friends and clubmates at university and all her loved ones.
😪 RIP
Such heartbreaking news. Thoughts and prayers with her family and friends. May she rest in peace.🙏
