Gardai in Sligo and local emergency services have been praised after a woman reported missing from North Sligo was later found safe and well. 

It's believed the woman was on Streedagh Beach last night and may have crossed to a small island in the area but was caught out by the tide. 

The alarm was raised in the early hours of this morning and a major search and rescue operation ensued including rescue 118 and local Gardai. 

Thankfully, the woman was eventually located earlier today. 

Local Fianna Fail Cllr Donal Gilroy says the incident highlights the importance of taking some personal responsibility if travelling to an unfamiliar place:
