Northern Ireland Cliff Fall Child Is Named

#Ballycastle - The child who died after he was round at the bottom of sea cliffs near Ballycastle in Co Antrim last night has been named as Logan Crawford.

BBC News reports that the seven-year-old boy was local to the area, and was believed to have been playing with friends near the cliff edge when he fell.

As previously reported on Afloat.ie, Belfast Coastguard and RNLI lifeboats from Portrush and Red Bay were involved in the search for the boy, who was airlifted to Coleraine Hospital by RAF helicopter but later pronounced dead.

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven’t put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full–time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
