No sign of Honeydew II’s whereabouts
A submerged mass was found by trawlers on Sunday but neither the trawlers, lifeboats nor the Navy were able to establish whether it was the missing vessel.
John O’Mahony, skipper of one of the trawlers, the Sean Mair II, said the trawlers used a long “creeper” device to see if they could catch anything from the sunken mass which could indicate it was the boat. However, the creeper proved to be too flexible.
