Skipper’s wife rejects fatigue claims

There could have been at least two more survivors of the Tit Bonhomme tragedy if there had been a quicker helicopter response, the widow of its skipper Michael Hayes claimed.

Caitlín Uí hAodha also questioned the delay in drafting in the Toe Head Coast Guard to help with the Jan 2012 tragedy. She further rejected claims fatigue had been an issue.

The completed report by the Marine Casualty Investigation Board contains pages of correspondence between Mrs Uí hAodha and investigators.
