Three Men Die In Kerry Fishing Tragedy

Three people have died following a fishing tragedy in Kerry.

The bodies of three men have been recovered from the water off the South Kerry coast, after a boat was spotted partially submerged near Coonanna Pier.

 

One of the men is in his 50s and the other two are in their 30s.

 

It's believed they had been on a fishing trip when they got into difficulty.

 

Irish Coast Guard search and rescue co-ordination manager Gerard O'Flynn says a major operation got underway as soon as the boat was spotted.
