Endurance swimmer Steve Redmond says he may consider a second crack at the 80km Ireland-Wales swim after abandoning yesterday’s attempt for medical reasons.

Four fishermen were plucked from the water at Tramore Bay by search and rescue services yesterday after their fishing vessel capsized, near the spot where three brothers died while fishing in June.

Three coffins; three hearses outside the church in the village of Crooke; three men who loved boats and fishing from the time they could walk.
