Little Fionn ‘still asking for drowned mum’

A TRAUMATISED young boy who walked over a mile in torrential rain to get help for his mother and sister who later drowned was still asking for his mother last night.

Fionn O’Driscoll, six, and his father Finbarr were being comforted by family and friends in the Borlin Valley, near Bantry, Co Cork, last night after a double tragedy claimed the life of Finbarr’s wife, Orla, 33, and Muire, their three-year-old daughter.

A post mortem carried out on their bodies at Cork University Hospital last night confirmed the cause of death as drowning.
