Calls for stronger warning at sea rocks after deaths
Coroner Terence Casey was presiding at an inquest in Caherciveen, Co Kerry, of Christopher (Chris) Murphy, aged 32, of Liss, Tullaroan, Co Kilkenny, who had travelled to the area for a weekend’s fishing with seven friends. His friends made heroic efforts to save him after he slipped from the rocks at Cool East, Valentia, on Jul 26.
The inquest heard how the group had spread out along the rocks that night, but came together soon after 10pm when it began to get dark. Mr Murphy was about two metres above the water level when the father of two slipped from the rocks.
