South-east winds were due to blow up to force 5 or 6 today, making diving conditions at the mouth of Glandore Harbour more dangerous.

More than 350 personnel took part in the massive search for skipper Michael Hayes, 52, a father of five from Helvick Head in Co Waterford, and Egyptian Saied Mohammed, 24, who remain missing since their trawler, the Tit Bonhomme sank near Adam’s Island at the mouth of the bay on Jan 15.
