Swift staff rescue boy in pool

SWIFT action by lifeguards saved a young boy from drowning in the pool of a popular holiday village.

The lifesaving team at Trabolgan Holiday Village in East Cork was praised yesterday for averting tragedy. But they declined to comment publicly on their heroics.

A spokeswoman said they didn’t want publicity because as far as they are concerned, they were just doing their job. “They are however delighted that the young boy is OK,” she said.
