Search for missing fisherman  to resume

John Ennis, from Ballyhack, New Ross, was fishing for mussels when his boat, Na Buachaillí, sank five hundred metres from the seashore close to Arthurstown

The boat, skippered by Richard McNamara, also from Ballyhack, disappeared within minutes, with one observer noting that: “one minute I was looking at the boat. I turned around and within minutes of turning back to look out to sea again the boat had disappeared. I raced to see if it had gone around the corner, but there was no sighting. I immediately raised the alarm.”
