Fishermen selfless in searching for comrade

FISHERMEN are spending thousands of euro of their own money each day in order to keep searching for signs of the stricken Honeydew II, which sank more than a week ago.

The fuel to keep a boat going for an entire day’s search costs anywhere between €1,000 and €3,000 depending on the size of the vessel.

In addition the boats are missing out on an average of €12,000 — what a week’s catch is worth to them.
