    RTE's website had a report last night that a surfer's body was recovered off Ballyheigue yesterday. I can't find anything on the story today. Anyone else hear this? Very sad if it's true. Any name or address?

Fenit RNLI launched two lifeboats and the the sea rescue units from Banna and Ballyheigue were called out. The coastguard helicoptor also joined the search. The man's body was found at around 7.30pm last night near the Promenade in Ballyheigue. He was pronounced dead at Kerry General
