Raising of Pere Charles not ruled out as search fails to locate bodies
As the naval diving operation continued without success yesterday, an inquiry by the Marine Casualty Investigations Board continues into events surrounding the January 10 tragedy off Dunmore East. The MCIB report could take up to a year to complete.
A transport department spokesperson said yesterday it was “premature” to discuss lifting the Pere Charles from its current position — 35 metres below water level off Hook Head — until the current search is complete.
