Weather expected to hamper Baltimore search today

Weather conditions are set to deteriorate and force rescuers to call off the underwater search

The 21-year-old's father Barry Ryan lost his life attempting to save his son's girlfriend Niamh O'Connor, who was swept into the sea near the Beacon by a rogue wave on Tuesday evening.

Both bodies were recovered however that of Barry Davis Ryan remains missing.

A massive search operation which swung into action yesterday was stood down last night as conditions deteriorated and winds picked up.
