Boy becomes third drowning victim in 2 days

A 10-year-old boy drowned yesterday while swimming with his brother in Youghal, East Cork.

Kyle Roche was with his nine-year-old brother, Dean, in a rock-enclosed enclave between Moll Goggin’s Corner and the promenade, when he got into difficulties just before 5pm.

Witnesses say Kyle was swept past the rocks towards the mouth of Youghal Bay. Several times the boy disappeared from view.
