Tributes paid as body recovered from Kenmare Bay

Great sadness has been expressed at the death of a church warden after a boat capsized on Sunday in Kenmare Bay, where two men were planning a duck shoot.

The body of Bill Topham, 55, was recovered yesterday morning. A second man survived after being rescued swimming towards the shore.

The pair had set out at around lunchtime from the old pier in Templenoe, in a Canadian-style open canoe. They were intending to go duck shooting on what was the last day of the shooting season.
