Town digs deep for trawler tragedy fund
The Kinsale Trawler Tragedy Fund was opened at Allied Irish Bank in the West Cork town on Tuesday, and by yesterday morning it had received donations from all over the country.
The account has been set up to help surviving Lithuanian crew members Viktoz Lozev and Vladimir Kostyr, who were picked up from a life raft 20 hours after the vessel sank, and also to give support to the family of Polish crewman Tomasz Jagla who is still missing along with the ship’s skipper Ger Bohan.
