The man fell from the 22-metre Union Hall-based trawler, Janireh, which was hauling its nets 15km south/south-west of the Fastnet Rock at around 1.45am.
The vessel’s owners, Christopher and Denis Deasy, turned the boat to stern in a bid to rescue him from the water, their nets became caught in its propellers, rendering it powerless. They threw him a lifebuoy but he slid below the surface.
