Fund to aid search for Jonathan

A SPECIAL bank account was opened yesterday to help expand the search for Jonathan Herlihy as his parents wait for the sea to give up their son’s body.

As Liam and Eileen Herlihy faced into the seventh day of their painful vigil above Owenahincha beach in west Cork, money began to pour in to help maintain and expand the expensive recovery operation.

The 22-year-old student from Glanmire, Co Cork, was swept out to sea last Sunday with Peter O’Keeffe after they saved two swimmers in difficulty. Peter’s body was recovered from the sea on Tuesday and was buried yesterday.
