Drowning victim’s father calls for proper slipway

THE father of a man who was swept to his death in the river Lee during the 2009 flood has called on the city’s authorities to build a proper slipway for search and recovery teams.

Brian Mooney made his call at the weekend at a memorial in Cork to mark the second anniversary of Brecan’s death.

“The boatmen who helped us search the river for Brecan were just unbelievable. They were a huge support to us,” Mr Mooney said.
