Marine experts are planning to refloat a 7,000 tonne cargo ship which ran aground on the west coast of Ireland.

The Coast Guard has rescued two people from a boat that lost power off the coast of Co Galway this morning.

AN 18-YEAR OLD man died when his car struck a ditch in Lusk, Co Dublin on Saturday night.

SEAWEED in a small inner bay in Co Galway was last night containing a 2,000 gallon oil spillage which could cost up to €1m to clean up.

The clean-up operation from the oil spill in Connemara will take a month to complete.
