Inspectors check death tanker in port

Checks were continuing today on the condition of an Argentinean oil tanker on which two crewmen died and another was seriously injured when it was caught in a storm.

The 65,000-tonne ship is now in port at Killybegs, Co Donegal. It put in there after running into fierce gales off the coast of Co Mayo, and was detained under European Union rules entitling states to protect their coastlines.
