Massive air and sea search after clothes found on beach

A HUGE air and sea rescue operation was mounted last night after the discovery of children’s clothing on the beach near where tragic Robert Holohan’s body was found two years ago.

Amid fears two children had been swept out to sea in yesterday’s atrocious weather, the Navy’s LE Orla joined the Coastguard helicopter, two lifeboats and two Coastguard units to comb the water around Inch Strand, east Cork, yesterday.

Gardaí also made house-to-house inquiries in the area to find the parents as no report of missing children had been made.
