Fishermen rescued from spot where 3 brothers died

Four fishermen were plucked from the water at Tramore Bay by search and rescue services yesterday after their fishing vessel capsized, near the spot where three brothers died while fishing in June.

The men, all in their 40s, were fishing at Saleen when their 19ft boat upturned after being hit by a large wave at about 1.30pm yesterday.

The area is the location where the Bolger brothers, fishermen from Passage East, died in June after getting into difficulty while out fishing, in a tragedy that left the county in mourning.
