Crew injured after wave hits lifeboat

The Courtmacsherry lifeboat was taking part in an intensive search of west Cork for a man who has been missing since the early hours of last Saturday week.

Edward Barry from Rosscarbery, a married father of one in his early 60s, has not been seen since his car was found on the pier at Rosscarbery more than a week ago. Yesterday, more than 200 searchers took part in the sea and land operation covering a huge stretch of shoreline from Dunowen Head to Mill Cove.
