Prized potter injured in beach photo shoot

ONE of the country’s leading potters is recovering after a crackpot wave injured him and ruined a promotional photo shoot on one of Kerry’s most spectacular beaches.

Ballyferriter-based Louis Mulcahy suffered a dislocated shoulder and abrasions when a freak wave crashed over his display of prized once-off pottery pieces, causing more than €4,500 of damage.

The rogue wave swept Mr Mulcahy, a keen swimmer, from the beach and drove him under the surface of the water.
