Motorboat accident survivor calls for 'hero' who saved his life to be honoured

A man who lost an arm in a motorboat accident has called for the hero who saved his life to be honoured posthumously.

Owen Corkery said the late Con Crowley, from Crosshaven in Co Cork, deserves formal recognition for his heroics.

“That man saved my life, there is no doubt about it,” Mr Corkery said after meeting Edward, the duke of Kent, during his visit to Crosshaven RNLI lifeboat station yesterday.
