An investigation has been launched after a man in his 70s died after the boat he was on with a fishing party capsized, leaving 10 people in the sea for five hours.

Eugene Kehoe has manned lifeboats for 36 years. It all began with tragedy, says Rachel Borrill.

A NEW lifeboat funded by a €3 million legacy had its first call-out yesterday morning when it came to the rescue of two fishermen in trouble off the south-east.
