Energy firm Energia is to add wave power to its 220 MW renewable energy portfolio after it signed an agreement for the purchase of electricity generated with the pioneering US firm Ocean Energy Systems (OES).

Plans were revealed today for the development of a national wave energy test site off Annagh Head, west of Belmullet, Co. Mayo.

The youngsters who died in a drowning tragedy off the Mayo coast have been named locally as Niall and Patricia Murphy.
