Kayakers urged to wear waterproof beacons after man's death in Wicklow
Kayakers and canoeists are being urged to wear waterproof radios and beacons on white water rivers after an experienced sportsman drowned on a mountain excursion.
Shane Murphy, 21, died while out with a group of friends on the fast-flowing and flooded Inchavore river in Co Wicklow last November after he got into difficulty in rapids.
