First of the drowning victims to be laid to rest tomorrow

The first of the victims of Tuesday’s triple drowning will be laid to rest tomorrow with the funeral of Cork student Niamh O’Connor.

Yesterday, a grieving Ann Davis made a poignant visit to the spot where she lost both her partner and her son.

Alongside her daughter Charlotte, who had raised the alarm on Tuesday, Ann accompanied gardaí — including a liaison officer — to the Beacon overlooking the spot where the search continued for her son, CIT student Barry Davis Ryan.
