From today's news:
Man drowns in Galway Bay accident. Saturday, 5 September 2009 22:49
A man has died and his brother has been rescued following a boating accident in Galway Bay this morning.

The two men were onboard a hooker which capsized shortly after it left the village of Kinvara at 10am.

The man who died has been named as 67-year-old Johnny Sheáin Jeaic MacDonncha, a fisherman from Carna in Connemara.

His brother Josie (66), was rescued after the 'McHugh' capsized and is said to be in a stable condition in hospital.
The hooker was about two miles out to sea, en route to Rossaveal, when it got into difficulty.

A crewman from another Galway hooker which was accompanying the stricken vessel dived into the sea and recovered the two men, however efforts to revive the 67-year-old were unsuccessful.

There is a fine singer named Josie Sheáin Jeaic MacDonncha. Can anyone throw some light on this
