A good part of the Irish press has covered the death of the 61-year-old woman who fell with her daughter into the ravine in Los Roferos, Lanzarote.

The newspaper "The Independent", the most read in Ireland, has picked up the event with a prominent headline: "Tourist (61) dead and her daughter seriously injured after falling off a cliff in an all-terrain buggy in Lanzarote." The Irish newspaper says that "the woman was confirmed as Irish by the Spanish authorities", but the Department of Foreign Affairs has denied that "that is true", since "the deceased was not traveling with an Irish passport" and that "it is not dealing with the case."

According to the newspaper, it is now believed that "the woman may be a South African citizen who has resided in Ireland in recent years."

In addition to the "Independent", several Irish media have echoed the news, such as the "Irish Mirror": "Irish tourist dies and her daughter is injured after an all-terrain buggy falls 65 feet from the rocks in Lanzarote", the media reports.

"The Irish Sun" headlines the tragedy as: Island of Horror. "An Irish tourist dies and her daughter is seriously injured after falling off the rocks in an all-terrain buggy in Lanzarote." In addition, they report that "the Civil Guard is investigating the incident", to clarify the facts of what happened.
