A credit to those who do this day in and day out helping others and ask for nothing in return.!
I saw the guy swimming way out at sea & thought what fecking eejit would swim out that far. We saw him stop for a while too & then didn’t see him any more. I can fully understand why someone reported the incident & fair play to them. I am sooo impressed by the coastguard rescue team & their rapid response & I am also glad no life was lost.
Best beach in Europe

Private Ryan didn’t get shot. He got home if you saw the end of the movie
Sad news from Kerry, the rescue services pulled the body of a drowned 20 year old from one of the lakes. This was as they were calling off the rescue here. The coast guard and RNLI must be incredibly busy during this weather. RIP.
