#Drowning - TheJournal.ie is reporting that a two-year-old boy has drowned in a "freak accident" at a Waterford beach yesterday (22 August).
The boy was at Boatstrand near Bunmahon, between Tramore and Dungarvan, with family around 7pm yesterday evening when he went to play away from the group and got into difficulty close to the shore.
Gardaí are investigating the incident and have not as yet released further details.
The tragedy brings to mind last month's shocking series of drownings around Ireland during the recent heatwave.
