More divers to help in search for missing man in Baltimore

Search and recovery teams looking for missing Barry Davis Ryan hope that an improvement in weather conditions this week will lead to a breakthrough in their efforts.

The 20-year-old local has been missing since the triple tragedy of June 30 when he, his girlfriend Niamh O’Connor and his father, Barry Ryan, entered the water at the eastern hole area of Baltimore Harbour, West Cork, near the Beacon.

The bodies of Mr Ryan and Ms O’Connor were taken from the water by local RNLI crews shortly afterwards but died later that evening, while the search has since continued for the Cork Institute of Technology engineering student.
