The area, where Europe's highest sea cliffs are located, was cordoned off on Monday as a result of the search.

The identity of the missing person has not been released.

The Coast Guard, Gardaí and the Rescue 118 helicopter from Sligo are involved in the search, as are of the Donegal Mountain Rescue Team.

Gardaí have restricted access to the area as the search continues.

In what is believed to be a connected incident, gardaí have also sealed off a house in the Killybegs area.
