Rescue 116 families deliver heartfelt seasonal messages

Two families who lost loved ones on board ill-fated Rescue 116 helicopter, which crashed off the Mayo coast, said they remain broken-hearted and urged people to remember the real meaning of Christmas.

Four people were on board the Sikorsky S-92 helicopter when it came down off the Co Mayo coast on March 14 close to Black Rock Island.

Captain Dara Fitzpatrick died after she was rescued from the sea hours after the crash. The body of her co-pilot, Capt Mark Duffy, was later recovered from the wreckage.
