Closure for Family in Baltimore Tragedy
The family of Barry Davis Ryan have thanked rescue crews who helped search for his body.
The remains of the 20-year-old were pulled from the waters off Baltimore, West Cork yesterday - 11 days after he drowned alongside his father.
The pair had been trying to rescue the young man's girlfriend who was fatally swept out to sea by a freak wave.
A flotilla of boats brought the body to shore as divers and volunteers formed a guard of honour as the hearse left Bull point pier.
Search efforts involved RNLI crews from Baltimore and Toe Head / Glandore, members of the local Civil Defence, the Irish Coast Guard, Naval and Garda diving teams as well as local fishermen and volunteers.
Coordinator for the West Cork Underwater Search and Rescue Unit, John Kearney says losing a young local is particularly tragic.
