A memorial Mass was held on Sunday for Mattheus Latek (13) and his father Piotr Latek (40), whose body has been found. The pair were fishing at Cod’s Head, near Allihies, in west Cork on July 12th when they were swept into the sea.

A fund set up by Piotr Latek’s employer has raised more than €6,000 to assist the Latek family.

Donations may be lodged to the Piotr and Mattheus Fund at Bank of Ireland, Kenmare, sort code 905731, account number 28414889.
