'I have been impressed by both the sheer determination of both Reuven and Joseph’s parents to raise awareness of such a tragedy occurring in another home'

Councils across Northern Ireland have been urged to implement improved water safety measures due to the increased popularity of open water swimming.

Delivering her findings in the inquest, Ms Toal said: “It was evident to me what a profound impact Reuven and Joseph’s deaths had on their families and the wider community.” “His friends made a number of attempts to pull him back to shallower water, which did not succeed. In an attempt to rescue his friend, Reuven swam towards Joseph and himself got into difficulty.”

She continued: “It is clear that these two young boys were only a number of metres from the shore when they got into difficulties. Despite the valiant efforts of both their friends and a multi-agency rescue attempt, their lives were unable to be saved.
