Baltimore Search Operation Continues as Tributes Pour In for Diamond Girl

Efforts are continuing today in the search for missing Cork man Davis Ryan in Baltimore as Tributes are made to "Diamond Girl" Niamh O'Connor.

The family of Glanmire Student Niamh O'Connor have paid tribute to their "diamond girl" following the triple drowining tragedy in Baltimore.

Searches are continuing today but are proving fruitless for crews so far on the third day of the massive search operation for missing Cork man Barry Davis Ryan.

Crews have been searching for the 21-year-old since Tuesday evening after his girlfiend, Glanmire student Niamh O'Connor, was swept into the sea near the Beacon by a freak wave.

Her body and that of the missing man's father Barry Ryan - who also tied to save Niamh - have both been recovered.
