A coroner has highlighted the need for extreme vigilance on farms after an inquest heard how a toddler died in a farmyard accident in West Cork last year.

Tributes were paid to a 66-year-old sailor "who died doing what he loved best", at his funeral in Schull, West Cork yesterday. Douglas Perrin died after his boat capsized at the mouth of Schull Harbour last Wednesday. His body was recovered by rescue services the following morning.
