'Dessie was only ever in a super mood — it's hard to believe he's gone'

Dessie Byrne (pictured) and his sister Muriel Eriksson died in a drowning accident in Ballybunion, Co Kerry.

The moment Robert Beasley knew something was going on was when he saw people on the cliff pointing over at the Men’s Beach.

Situated on the left of Ballybunion Castle next door to the Ladies Beach, a huddle of emergency personnel were gathered around someone on the ground, not far from a rocky outcrop.
