VIDEO: Baltimore Drownings - Sea tragedy in West Cork

A father and his son’s girlfriend were swept to their deaths in a freak shore accident in West Cork last night.

Searches will resume today for the man’s son who is still missing after the three got into difficulty on rocks near the landmark Beacon at the mouth of Baltimore harbour at around 6.30pm.

The man’s teenage daughter, who saw the tragedy unfold and raised the alarm, was being comforted by family last night.
