A community on the south Kerry coast has been described as "devastated" after three men tragically drowned in a fishing accident.
The three men, two men aged in their 30s and one man in his 40s, are believed to be Latvian and two of the men had been living in Killarney, it is believed. The third man was living elsewhere in Kerry.
Their bodies were found near an upturned boat yesterday evening near Coonanna Pier and post mortems are due to take place today.
The circumstances of the incident are still unknown are unclear. Father
Larry Kelly, the parish priest in Caherciveen, said locals cannot believe what has happened.
Fr Kelly said: "Everybody is shocked, these three young men, from what I can gather have come here fairly often in the past.
"We feel huge sorrow, heavy hearts for the families back home, it must be very tragic for them and everybody around here is devastated as well. It is a huge tragedy."
