The victims of the Tit Bonhomme trawler tragedy will be remembered during a special Mass next week to mark the first anniversary of the vessel’s sinking.

President Michael D Higgins is to visit Union Hall next month to meet with the families of the five trawler men who died when the Tit Bonhomme sank in mid-January.

For one family, the mourning can finally begin. For another, the agonising wait continues.
