Sailor drowns after boat capsizes
An experienced sailor drowned and his brother was rescued when their boat capsized off the Irish coast.
Four other people were treated in hospital after they tried to save the men when the Galway Hooker - a traditional sailing vessel - sank in Galway Bay at around 10.30am. The dead man was named locally as Johnny Sheain Jeaic Mac Donncha, a 67-year-old from Carna in Galway. His brother, famous Sean-nos singer Josie Sheain Jeaic Mac Donncha, 66, was airlifted to hospital where he is recovering.

Our deepest sympathies to Josie
