Navy divers are continuing to search the fishing trawler that sank off the coast of Co Wexford earlier this year in the hope of finding the bodies of its two missing crewmen.

Navy divers are due to inspect the wreck of a sunken fishing vessel off the coast of Co Wexford today as part of a renewed bid to locate the bodies of its two missing crew members.

Army divers are to conduct a fresh investigation of sunken trawler the Maggie B tomorrow morning.

The family of a Cork fisherman missing at sea for almost seven weeks have met with Junior Minister Pat the Cope Gallagher.

The Navy is to carry out a thorough examination of the Maggie B trawler which sank off the south-east coast in March, it emerged tonight.

FEARS were growing last night for the safety of two fishermen missing since their 15-metre fishing vessel, the Maggie B, went down five miles off the Hook Peninsula in county Wexford in rough seas just before midnight on Wednesday.
