Shoreline search for Kerryman continues

As the search off the Kerry Coast for a fisherman missing since Wednesday continues, a shoreline search has now commenced as low tide comes around.

The search has been in full swing since 8am and will continue until 8pm.

Divers are continuing their underwater search as the tide goes out and are being joined by locals and volunteers who are combing the shore.

Members of the Kenmare walking club are set to join the search at 7pm.

The father-of-five, a local man in his 50's, has not been seen since Wednesday night and his boat was found in the bay on Thursday morning.

The Navy vessel LE Ciara assisted in the search yesterday, but left today.
