A young Irish girl has died following a fall at a hotel on the Spanish island of Majorca.

The girl has been named locally as 11-year-old Clodagh Phelan from Co Wicklow.

Spanish authorities said that they are probing the death of a girl overnight on Sunday.

A spokesperson for the Civil Guard said it received an emergency call after a girl fell from a hotel balcony.

The spokesperson added: “(Her) parents were sleeping.

“A hosted person at the hotel reported the emergency at the morning when he found the body. At the moment there is no more public information.”

The Department of Foreign Affairs said it is aware of the case and is providing consular assistance.

Taoiseach Simon Harris said his thoughts were with the family.

In a post on X, he said: “So sad to hear of the tragic loss of Clodagh Phelan.

“So much promise and personality snatched away in a terrible accident.

“Thoughts with her family and community at this truly awful time.”

Parnell Athletics Club, where Clodagh was a member, paid tribute on Facebook.

A statement said: “Parnell A.C. are truly heartbroken to share the devastating news of the passing of Clodagh Phelan, one of our juvenile athletes and friend to many of our younger athletes.

“Clodagh tragically passed away following an accident on holidays.

“Clodagh was a beautiful, spirited child and a great athlete who excelled in many sports, not just athletics.

“Her family Valerie, Liam, Will, and David and extended family are in our hearts, thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.”
