Drowning victims may have been in water for 24 hours

The three people who drowned in a tributary of the River Blackwater in Co Cork last weekend may reportedly have been dead for 24 hours before they were discovered.

The bodies of Ita Noonan, her 24-year-son David and 20-year-old daughter Emma were all recovered from the Awbeg River near Castletownroche on Monday evening.
