THE Department of Foreign Affairs is helping grieving families fly the bodies of three Irishmen home after tragic holiday accidents in South Africa and Tenerife.

Alan Henry Helen from Co Cork drowned in Tenerife last Tuesday while on holiday with a group of friends.

The 24-year-old son of Richard and Betty Helen, worked on the family’s dairy farm in Clonakilty and was a popular member of the local community.
