VIDEO: Baltimore Drownings: ‘Valiant’ search continues for missing student

The search for missing student Barry Davis Ryan will continue this morning, as a doctor on the scene of Tuesday’s tragedy praised the “valiant” and “phenomenal” efforts of rescue teams who took Barry Ryan Sr and Niamh O’Connor from the sea near Baltimore.

The first search team left Baltimore at 5am yesterday in the search for Barry Davis Ryan, a 21-year-old who had just finished his first year in a BA in engineering at Cork Institute of Technology and who was working in Penneys in Cork. Mr Davis Ryan was going out with Ms O’Connor.

The job was a family tradition, the store chain having been founded by his grandfather, Arthur, while his father worked in Penneys as an executive.
