Kayaker rescued off west Cork after golfers raise alarm

The Courtmacsherry RNLI Lifeboat crew involved the callout were Coxswain Mark John Gannon, mechanic Stuart Russell and crew members Ken Cashman, Evin O'Sullivan, Ciaran Hurley and brothers Kevin and Donal Young.

A kayaker is recovering after capsizing off the Old Head of Kinsale in West Cork in rough seas.

In what was described as a very frightening ordeal, the man was thrown off the kayak and was unable to re-mount because of high swells.
