Boating incident leaves two dead

AN INVESTIGATION HAS been launched following the deaths of two men off the Galway coast this morning in a boating incident. At 10.40 a man’s body was found washed up at Inishbofin, and the second man’s body was then found trapped under a dinghy under the boat. The men were in their late 50s and early 60s and both were wearing lifejackets. No distress calls were sounded from the boat.
