Sunken trawlers to be raised after family pressure

TWO trawlers in which seven men died are to be raised from the seabed, following intensive lobbying by the families affected.

The Department of Transport said it will seek tenders on the raising of the Pere Charles and Maggie B.

Glen Cott, 30, from Ballycotton and Jan Sankowski, 45, from Poland lost their lives when the Maggie B sank around 8km south of Hook Head at the end of March.
