    We were on the beach. The lifeguard and surrounding people worked valiantly non-stop to try to save and resuscitate the two ladies, then the ambulance services also did their absolute best before the helicopter arrived and they were rushed away. A couple stood nearby throughout and prayed the Rosary. The sea was calm and it was a beautiful sunny evening on the beach, made horrendous by this appalling double tragedy. God rest them both and deepest sympathy to their families.
