The search resumes off Baltimore in west Cork this morning for missing man Barry Davis Ryan.

The 21 year old disappeared while trying to save his girlfriend Niamh O'Connor from Glanmire, who was swept out to sea on Tuesday evening.

She was later recovered from the water along with Barry Ryan senior, the missing man's father, but they had both drowned.

Divers, lifeboats and local craft will be involved in this morning's search, along with shore crews.

Navy divers, lifeboats, coastguard teams, local vessels and shore searchers are all involved.

Coastguard spokesman Tim O'Keefe says conditions last night for the search are favourable:

Local Councillor Joe Carroll is a friend of the Ryans:

The woman and one of the men were recovered from the sea but were later pronounced dead.

Teams from Baltimore, Schull and Toe Head are all involved in the operation.

Local divers are in the water, while navy divers are on the scene.

Southern correspondent with the Irish Independent, Ralph Riegel, told Newstalk Breakfast the group was out walking when it happened.
