Probe after waves swamp boat ferrying tourists in Killarney

Twelve tourists and the skipper of an excursion boat were rescued from a lake in Killarney after a licensed passenger vessel became swamped by waves in a freak incident.

And to add to the distress of the tourists, a second passenger boat on its way to rescue them also became submerged.

They were finally brought to the safety of the shore by a third boat.
