"After five gruelling months in the water, braving injury, isolation and the Atlantic's worst moods, 27-year-old Daragh Morgan has become the first person to complete a tidal-assisted swim around Ireland"
"After five months and 17 days, 1,468km in the water and more moments of grit than he can count, Daragh Morgan has become the first person to complete a tidal-assisted swim around the entire coast of Ireland."
"The 27-year-old's extraordinary journey began in May - a challenge he'd quietly carried in his mind for six years. When he spoke to the Irish Independent at the start, he was eager, nervous and thrilled to finally get going. Last weekend, all of that came full circle."
