THE organisers of the Northern hemisphere’s largest rugby sevens’ tournament are hoping to raise up to €10,000 from this year’s event for the Kinsale Trawler Tragedy Fund.

THE children of two fishermen lost at sea attended special Masses over the weekend in preparation for their Confirmations.

COASTAL communities had raised €17,000 by last night to help those affected by the sinking of doomed Kinsale trawler, the Honeydew II.

A SPECIAL collection for the survivors of the Honeydew II trawler disaster and the family of a missing sailor has raised €7,500 in just 48 hours and is expected to grow rapidly in the coming days.
