CLIFF FALL At 7.32 p.m. on 24th April, 1966, the honorary secretary was informed that two boys had fallen over the cliff at Whitewaterbrook.

The life-boat A.M.T. was launched at 7.42 in a light westerly wind and a smooth sea. The coxswain took the life-boat in close to the shore, and three of the crew went ashore in the boarding boat with a stretcher, and took off a sixteen- year-old boy, who had a fractured arm and leg. They returned to the shore and found that the fire brigade, Garda and a doctor had arrived via some steps leading to the shore, but that they were too steep for the stretcher. The second boy, who was 11 years old, had head injuries. He was taken out to the life-boat with the doctor in attendance, and then both doctor and casualty were landed at the west pier where an ambulance was waiting..
