VIDEO: Englishman killed in Wexford boating tragedy was visiting extended family

The man who died when a boat capsized off the Wexford coast last night was from Salisbury in England and was visiting relatives in the area, it has emerged.

The 73-year-old man and nine others - seven men, one woman and a teenage boy - were swept into the sea after their 18ft leisure boat overturned in choppy water when a breaking wave stove in the windows in the wheelhouse and swamped the vessel.
