The naval vessel the LE Eithne remains tied up at Dublin Port as gardai continue quizzing members of the crew about the death of able seaman Brian Gorey.

About half the 63-man crew have been interviewed at this stage.

Gardai are focusing on the final moments of the young Limerick man's life to try to discover how exactly the sailor, with four years naval experience, ended up in the water.
