Community unites as hunt continues for missing men

CANON John O’Mahony stood silently mouthing the rosary in Kinsale Harbour yesterday evening as less than 100 miles away poor visibility and worsening weather conditions forced search crews to return to shore without the two Kinsale fishermen they sought.

Throughout the day the small Kinsale Harbour office had been a hive of activity as family members of the missing men, Ger Bohan and Jomasz Jagla, as well as locals waited for news, helpless as all the searches continued off the coast of Dunmore East.

Mary Bohan, wife of Mr Bohan, had been at the harbour side late into the previous night.
