Published 6 days, 10 hours ago
Description
A notorious fishing spot in West Clare, which was the site of another tragedy in March will be officially assessed for enhanced safety measures. Tajuddin and Salahuddin Safi lost their lives at Doonbeg's Bluepool last month after being carried out to sea by a rogue wave. It's understood at least 40 people have died at the location since the 1980s, and now the local authority is due to collaborate with Inland Fisheries Ireland to see if additional signage and ring buoys can be installed. Local Councillor Rita McInerney says its urgently needed.
