‘He was a family man first and a fisherman second’

“HE WAS a family man first and a fisherman second; he loved his family.”

That is how Ger Bohan’s friend of 25 years, Eamon O’Neill, described him as he and hundreds of other searchers desperately hunted for a sign of the captain of the Honeydew II and his crew mate Tomasz Jagla.

While Eamon searched, Mr Bohan’s wife Mary would occasionally leave the family home and go to the harbour in Kinsale to look out to sea. It was Mary who raised the alarm on Thursday.
