Seafarers get safety exercise
As scaled-down searches continued yesterday for the bodies of seven men missing from two trawlers which sunk off the south-east coast last week, all seafarers, clubs and organisations that take to sea were encouraged to attend the event at the National Maritime College in Ringaskiddy, organised by the Irish Coast Guard and the Crosshaven Coast Guard unit.
The informal event will include a presentation on medical emergencies at sea by Health Service Executive staff from Cork University Hospital’s (CUH) medical advice link (Medico) call centre.
