Efforts to recover body of Finnish student continue

Efforts to recover the body of a Finnish man who drowned on Thursday after being swept to sea by a large wave off rocks on Achill Island failed yesterday due to treacherous sea conditions.

The 23-year-old victim has not yet been named. He was a student at Waterford Institute of Technology and was taking a photograph at Atlantic Drive when he was swept away.

His companions ran to a nearby house to raise the alarm.
