Closure for some as bodies recovered  but search goes on for 3 still missing

Two bodies were recovered, but three are still missing, including that of skipper Michael Hayes, a father of five: Lia, Ealga, Miceal, Ferdia and Dearbhla.

As the second body, that of young student Kevin Kershaw, was brought ashore from the site of the wreck at Adam Island in Glandore Bay, Egyptian men knelt in a portable building facing the sea and prayed. Outside, the Irish said their prayers beside a memorial set up on the pier side with candles and photos.
