Brave Jonathan also saved child’s life in US

THE young Corkman who was one of two men drowned after saving a couple in the sea off the West Cork last Sunday heroically saved a young child while he was travelling in America two years ago.

Cork woman Kay Murray yesterday told RTÉ’s Gerry Ryan Show how Glanmire native Jonathan Herlihy saved her nine-year-old grandnephew who had run out in front of a bus.

She said Jonathan had been in Ocean City in America with her daughter’s boyfriend and family members already living in the US had travelled to the city from their homes to meet up with the young men.
