A four-year-old boy who drowned at the National Aquatic Centre was not wearing armbands and could not swim, an inquest heard.

Logan Joyce of Wotton Bridge, Ashbourne Rd, Co Dublin, was found in the Lazy River section of the Aquazone at 6.30pm on July 22, 2012.

“I held his hand and called his name, asking him to come back,” his father, Michael Logan, said in his statement.
