No sign of missing Rescue 116 crew but search goes on

Searchers for the remaining missing crew members of Coast Guard helicopter Rescue 116 are concentrating on the area around the crash site again after the disappointment over the weekend’s flotilla exercise.

But they have asked all mariners to remain vigilant for any finds relating to the crash as they return to their normal fishing and leisure activities in the days ahead.

More than 120 fishing vessels joined forces with official search craft on Saturday in a co-ordinated search off the west coast for missing crewmen Ciarán Smith and Paul Ormsby.
