County Kerry: Fisherman dies on Spanish vessel off Irish coast
- A Spanish fishing vessel, the Novo Alborada, reported a serious onboard incident about 30 nautical miles south-west of Valentia Island, killing one fisherman and seriously injuring a second.
- When nets were being hauled, a rope snapped and injured two crew members aboard the Novoalborada, reports indicate the injuries resulted directly from the snapped rope incident.
- Coast Guard helicopters Rescue 115 and 118 and fixed-wing 120F coordinated the search in very challenging sea conditions with swells of five to six metres and refuelling during the operation.
- The deceased was a man in his 30s and the injured crew member was flown to Cork University Hospital in serious but stable condition; the body is being brought to Castletownbere and likely transferred to Daingean Uí Chúis with a coroner's recorded verdict of accidental death.
- The vessel has a prior fatality in 2018 involving a 51-year-old fisherman, with a file sent to the DPP, while Philip Comyn, Cork coroner, warned in 2019 that foreign vessels like Novo Alborada fishing off Porcupine Bank and Kerry coast often lack Irish safety standards.
