That's one of my favourite trips when in the area!
More details would be welcome. It's not clear if the collapse is bypassable through by climbing up into the chamber, or whether it's on the approach beforehand (in which case it seems to be in/blocking the main streamway?!)

more details... from caving.ie
Please note there has been a rockfall in Doolin River Cave. It is in the low wet crawl between the Doolin road sink and the Smithy Grotto. Four rocks have dropped down and there is a lot of loose material above them. A route has now been cleared under the fallen material but this will only be usable in low water conditions. Another route has been made by the Clare Caving Club beside and over the fallen rocks which should be usable in any weather conditions. However one of the large rocks has a crack through it and will probably move again soon. CAUTION IS ADVISED.
