Sea claims third life

A FISHERMAN died yesterday after falling overboard in Tralee Bay while a search is continuing for the Polish boy who was swept out to sea during a fishing trip with his father.

The victim of the latest fishing tragedy was named locally last night as Patrick (Pa) Egan, a single man in his 40s who lived with his elderly mother in Fenit village.

Valentia Coast Guard received a call shortly after 9.30am that a man had fallen overboard from a boat believed to be fishing for lobsters in the Maharees area.
