Tributes and tears for mum who died trying to rescue son in beach tragedy
Tributes have been paid to mother of two, Joanna Wisniowśka, who died yesterday after attempting to rescue her young son when he got into difficulty swimming off Ballycroneen beach in East Cork.
“The family are fully integrated into the town. I think they even have an Irish nickname. It is a pure and utter tragedy. That young fella was rowing yesterday morning with East Ferry in a regatta. Ballycroneen is a beautiful beach but there can be riptides there.” "It is devastating for the family but it is devastating for the club as well. Of course there is rivalry with other clubs. But they help each other and is really all about giving.”
"Maciej and Stanisław are both rowers with East Ferry Rowing Club. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by todays tragic news. May Joanna Rest in Peace.” "Sadly, we learned later that the woman we rescued did not recover. We wish to extend our deepest sympathies to their family and friends and our thoughts are with the young child who was brought to safety.
