GARDA divers will this morning decide if sea conditions are good enough to go into the water at the location where the sunken trawler the Honeydew II was positively identified yesterday.

FIVE buses a day have been arranged from Kinsale to Dunmore over the weekend for those who will join the search for the bodies of the two fishermen missing from the Honeydew II.

A FRIEND of the Kinsale fisherman missing with his crewman at sea for a week has said a full day’s search time was lost because the naval service did not pick up on signs the vessel was in difficulty.

ALL available resources are to be focused into an intensive shore search in Waterford this weekend as it is more likely the bodies of missing fishermen may wash ashore on those days.

TWO empty, lightweight sea-craft lie moored to the harbour wall at Dunmore East, visible to all the locals who gather intermittently at the top of the street to look over the harbour and wonder when the bodies of the Pere Charles crew will be returned to the village.

A SENIOR Fianna Fáil TD has called for the two vessels which sank, claiming seven lives, to be raised.
