Three young people were “on the rocks across from Newtown Cove and were contemplating jumping off the rocks into the water,” according to Cllr. Quinlan.
Eventually, one of the boys leaped into a space. There was a lot of froth in the water in the region, which is also known as the washing machine. I could see the poor boy was in trouble the moment he leaped.
“As soon as I saw him climbing up onto the rocks, I rang the Coast Guard, Emergency Services, and the RNLI, who came within minutes.”
The adolescent was taken by ambulance to University Hospital Waterford (UHW) to get treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.
In a statement, Mr Harris said: “The news from Israel on the deaths of six hostages is heartbreaking and an outrage. These innocent people were abducted and held by Hamas for nearly 11 months. Reports they were murdered in recent days are sickening. This is the latest outrage and atrocity in a year of bloody inhumanity. This violence and death cannot continue and every life that can be saved, must be saved. We need an immediate and lasting ceasefire,” reports Breaking News.
“Ireland calls on Hamas and the (Israeli) Netanyahu government to make this a reality. All remaining hostages should be returned to their families and aid needs to flow freely to Gaza before the humanitarian catastrophe deepens. Ireland’s solidarity and sympathy are today with the families and the communities of the six innocent hostages confirmed dead. May their memories be a blessing,” he added, reports Breaking News.
