Kerry Mountain Rescue Team: Everything that could be done was done to save teenage boy in West Kerry

Everything that could be done, to save the life of a teenage boy who died in West Kerry yesterday, was done.

That's according to Gerry Christie of the Kerry Mountain Rescue Team.

The 16-year-old from North Cork fell near the waterfall at Pedlar's Lake on the Conor Pass.

The alarm was raised shortly before 20 to four yesterday afternoon, and a major multi-agency operation began immediately.

Around 30 members of Dingle Coast Guard and Kerry Mountain Rescue Team took part.

Gardaí say a post-mortem examination will take place and a file will be prepared for the office of the coroner.
