Mother recalls final tender time before son drowned

AN UNPROTECTED caravan park pond in which a toddler drowned should be filled in, a coroner said yesterday.

Cork’s city coroner, Dr Myra Cullinane, made the recommendation after an inquest into the tragic death last summer of two-year-old Glen McNamara Twomey.

The inquest heard how Glen, from Hollyhill on the city’s northside, wandered outside his parents’ caravan at Seafield Caravan Park, Youghal, Co Cork, last July and drowned in a nearby pond.
