Sunken boat to be raised

THE ill-fated Rising Sun lobster boat which sank last November drowning two men is expected to be raised on Saturday, weather permitting.

The family of missing skipper Pat Colfer hope his remains will be recovered when the vessel is finally brought to shore. They believe his body could be in the wheel house.

The company awarded the contract to recover the vessel began preparatory work on the vessel on Monday. It sank off the Wexford coast on November 29.
