Man, 72, rows Shannon in mercy mission

A 72-YEAR-OLD Co Cork man has rowed the length of the River Shannon to raise funds for an Indian boy born without legs or arms.

And it wasn’t a straightforward 320km journey for pensioner Donal Attig.

The Donoughmore man rowed a heavy, 18ft, cabin cruiser from Lough Allen in Co Leitrim to Foynes on the Shannon estuary.
