'I have lost everyone except my little girl': Heartbreak of woman whose two sons, mother, partner and sister all drowned in Irish pier tragedy - while she was on a hen do - but her baby survived
Louise James, pictured with her partner Sean McGrotty and their three children, was apparently away at a hen party in Liverpool when her mother, teenage sister, partner and two sons drowned at the harbour at Buncrana in County Donegal, north-west Ireland yesterday evening. The two adults and three of the children drowned when their Audi Q7 'slipped on algae' while turning on the pier's slipway, top right. But Rionaghac-Ann, Ms James's four-month-old daughter, survived the accident after she was rescued from the water by a passer-by, who stripped off and dived into the freezing water. Ms James has now been reunited with her baby girl, and told her priest: 'I have lost everyone, except little Rionaghac-Ann - Rionaghac-Ann is my reason to go on.' Those who died were named today as Mr McGrotty, the couple's sons Mark and Evan, Ms James's mother Ruth Daniels and her sister Jodie-Lee, inset.
