Survivor lays wreath on cliff for coastguard colleague Caitríona Lucas

One of the survivors of Monday’s coastguard tragedy in Co Clare laid a wreath yesterday on the cliff top near the scene where Caitríona Lucas lost her life.

Coastguard volunteer Jenny Carway, injured in the incident, was comforted by colleagues from both the Kilkee and Doolin units of the service during the brief ceremony at the Diamond Rocks in Kilkee.

She was on board the Kilkee Coast Guard Delta RIB capsized by a rogue wave which tossed its three- person crew into the sea.
