An Irishman has drowned in a heroic attempt to rescue his daughter from the sea in Australia. 

The 45-year-old father rushed into the waves at Lennox Head on the northern coast of New South Wales after his daughter was swept out to sea on a body board.

The tragedy occurred at Seven Mile Beach at about 6.30pm on Wednesday night. It is understood that the beach was not being patrolled by a life guard at the time.

The father managed to swim out to reach her but was unable to bring her back to shore.
