Search to resume for missing Blackrock fisherman

A MAJOR air, sea and land search will resume again at dawn today for missing fisherman, Gerry Hegarty, who fell into Cork Harbour after the small boat he was in capsized.

The boat, which was based at Crosshaven, capsized at Ringabella Bay near Cork Harbour just after 10am on Thursday morning.

The skipper of the boat, Jamie Fitzgerald from Crosshaven, managed to swim to shore and climb a steep rock face before running to a nearby house to raise the alarm.
